I noticed a few odd things today.

[Cyrus]

suicide_junkie,
It was a concern for me because I was in the process of refitting my destroyers to use PPBs and it was just chance that I had one with normal weapons. The reason I wanted the ship was because it was several tech levels above my own ship construction, though capturing it for the spinal-mount (Devnull mod I think) shard cannon would have been cool in and of itself.
Yeah, I could name them specifically my_<something> but the name file had the names "Watcher" and "Ghost" in them, one of which I usually use for my stealthed satellites, and the other I was planning on using on my stealthed Battlecruisers. Just kind of annoying, so I ended up starting with Watcher-II instead

PvK,
I agree that having a shield residue would make sense, but not having 300 shield points vanish because I hit it with 15 points worth of meson bLaster fire
