Re: phased shields?
The Ionic Shield Generator is an Engine with no appreciable movement generation. So, it takes an engine slot and is hit by engine damaging weapons, but doesn't move the ship any faster. A nice tradeoff, if you ask me. 
They should be set up to be only available on ships though, cause they make no sense elsewhere.

Re: phased shields?
i think the engine thing is just so they'll get hit by engine damaging weapons.

Re: phased shields?
Well that is what I said. But it does create a design choice because it lowers the engines you can have by 1. You can't go as fast when using an Ionic Shield on your ship. That is what I was talking about.

Well, aside from tricking engine killers into firing at ships with no engines.

Re: phased shields?
Well, that shouldn't be allowable. Ship crews are not so stupid to go around firing their weapons at targets that could not have engines on them.
