I always thought that this happened only when the strenght of a weapon got to a certain point and spilled over an "energy dam".RedImperator wrote:It seems all Trek shield systems allow some energy bleedthrough (probably because they modulate and have to pass through zero during their cycle). It's possible to deliver damage to a ship when the shields are up--however, we've never, to the best of my knowledge, seen physical hull damage to that extent on any shielded ship.
