OA vs Shields

[Fyron]

yes, high level phased shields might give a bit more strength than organic armor, but when you can have twice as many ships with the organics... with high tech levels you can have your cake and eat it too, but starting with lower levels or when rushed for construction, you have to prioritize.

I did say higher level shields, not lower level.

OA III: 5 hp/kT
PSG V: 10.375 hp/kT (don't forget the structure of the comp itself)

Twice as much raw defensive strength.

Shield Disruptors are at best equal in strength to Shield Depleters (they both take out roughly the same amount of shield points, and Shield Regenerators are a joke for most uses).
