Question about "Heavy Phasers" in OP...

I wonder why the PHB only does 1/3 the damage to sheilds. I take it then that the PHB is not a good weapon to use against sheilds, only to fire through unsheilded targets.

If I recall the Phaser B is flawed in its code, or I should say that ships shields are flawed. Ships shields, even when down have 1 point of energy, therefore the phaser B impacts that and not direct to the hull like it should. I may be wrong but I seem to recall this discussion on the old forums some months ago. It is one of the thing the next patch for OP may fix, I hope.

Unfortunately I think that bug is still in 2538. You can fire at an apparent "downed shield" (in fact, you can make sure its down by firing at it first) and still get 1/3 of the max damage. (i.e. phB will never do >5 against a shield CAPABLE target, it doesn't matter that their shield is downed by force. I am not sure what happens against a "green alert" target, which are nor raising shields...)
However, the phB is very effective against Fighters. (which are unshielded.) But I think that is small consolation...
Funny, i remember reading about it being fixed a while back.. guess not. Hope the last OP patch can get this fixed at last.
