What is moddable is armor that would act as PD weapon, auto-shooting any incoming CRAFT. Can be explained by concentrated reflection of the starlight, or perharps ships' engine power or even shields... make that shield-only too if the later.

Yee, either P&N or Devnull - don't remember which, sorry, has a nice collection of quite unorthodox armor types, to say the least.

Sorry for going a little off topic, but I have a Phased shields question...

Do phased shields work against anything other than phased weapons (PPBs)? Will all other weapons bypass them totally?

More specifically, will they stop boarding parties?

I would think shield depleters work against both types of shields, is this correct?

Phased shields work against everything except Null-Space Cannons and the Temporal weapon that is like NSCs.

Shield depleters function identically against either type of shielding.
