shield bug?
this may actually be a feature of some beam weapons i am not sure. but it seems against some of the beam weapons shields dont block any damage. i have 4 of those IR laser beams and shields dont seem to matter to them. this goes the same for alot of the turret mounted weapons on cap ships. i take hull damage despite my shields appearing to not have taken any damage

And you would be entirely correct to think soDyskord wrote:I think there are weapons that have "phase damage" which goes straight through shields.
Actually, many of the new weapons have at least some shield-penetrating damage, but most of them only do a small fraction of their damage as shield piercing. Laser-type weapons (not to be confused with the "Laser" weapon which clearly states that it's not a LASER), on the other hand, are notable in that they do the majority of their damage in a shield piercing fashion.
