Already done, but ok:

Say a ship with a shield level of 25 (and shields still up!) takes a hit (no matter beam or torpedo) of 40 points of damage.

Real damage -> 40 - 25 = 15

But tevent still says 40 -> look at shield percentage / see also "damage control".

Yes, at least they'll predict if they cannot do any damage.

Not "Or" , they run away if SL too large.

See your other topic.
