I ordered my Terran unit to attack one of Yor's, and he proceeded to wipe the floor with me. The issue is, he has beam weapons, and it went right threw my shields like they didn't exist. I had 32 kinetic attack with 48 shields to his 27 beam attack/27 shields:
I've attached the battle log. As you can see, the Yor's beam attack penetrated my shields at full strength. So is this a bug? Is it possible that my shields were depleted because I was in a battle the previous turn and need time to recover? Is there an add-on that allows ships to fire before a crew can respond with defense?
I'm still trying to grasp the changes made from GalCiv2 to combat mechanics. But this strikes me as a bug.
