Phased Weapons vs Phased Shields???

[PvK]

Yes, Fyron has identified the misunderstanding here.

When phased weapons' and shields' descriptions are concerned, the "ability" discussed is the ability to ignore the shield points of an unphased shield. Phased weapons can still deplete their way through a phased shield - they just can't ignore them the way they ignore unphased shields. The description may mislead some readers, but this is the way it has worked since SE3 (and maybe even before SE3).
