I wass just told, in another thread, that shield skipping weapons do not skip the shields on Fighters!

Shield point on WP and fighters are part of structure. PPB does NOT skip unit's nonphased shields. Neither does NSP.
and in a later post
See, the "blue bar" for a satellite, same as for the fighter, is a decoration. When you add a shield to the unit, its "red bar" - structure, jumps by the same amount of points as the "blue bar". Does not matter, phased or not. Same for the planet with WP.

So that's encouraging.

Once you research phased shields, CA will work against PPB as well. Units' shields can not be skipped. Even by null-space weapons. Energy transmission lens is fighters best friend

The Energy Dampener is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. One hit = one disabled enemy ship, especially mounted. Unlike the Psychic Mental Flailer, it isn't blocked by Master Computers, either.

A problem with this weapon: can´t remember the patch, but now first you need to put the enemy shields down to have effect... then, don't think is so useful. The Tessellate use them in limited designes.

crystal and psychic?
crystal and religous?

if you had to pick 2, which would you do?

Interesting. I could not find such a reference in history file. Why was it changed ??? It is indeed became a worthless weapon
