Hey! Isn't this too easy?!

Have you tried Psychic Flailers yet? Those are WAY too nasty IMHO in the unmodded game. My Abbidon Battleship has 4x Psychic Flailers and 2x crew toxins, and nothing can stop it, except dying, crewless ships running into me

I've noticed that the crew killers make things much easier. If you aren't using them you will find the Sithrak ships (and others) pretty . It seems to me that logically shields should protect against them, at least for the toxic injectors, and probably for the psychic weapons as well. Then they wouldn't be the uber-weapons that they currently seem to be.
