That was changed in one of the Gold patches; v1.70 if you check History.txt.

yep, that does work. The chant crystal from Devnull Mod uses that. Also that ability has been given to the Graviton Hellbore in some mods (which ones I cannot recall right now).

In Proportions. It is my favorite weapon now. Not the best and most efficient for sure but I just like the name  and "skips all shields" sounds very cool to me.

Re: phased shields?
narf - wrong. sd's are the best weapons when talking about bang-for-buck in everything - almost long range, awesome damage, no range reduction, cheap to research. And there are the SDs which are just made against those heavily shielded ships.
Fyron, you oughta know what im talking about. Remember my counter attempts?

"i normally skip armor and just plow it into shields. rp effiency."
Bang for your buck wise, Armor III is cheap and very good. It's only in comparsion to the advanced, expensive to research shields that it becomes less of an option (and when IDs are in play..personally I find that a bad design call..)
