Shadows bio-armor - bug or intention?

Hi!

Thanks for a terrific mod, that I just found out about (yes I'm not really up to speed on Freelancer mods ). I have one question though.

Me and a friend of mine just got our hands on some Shadow ships. He's flying the Crab, I'm on the Demon. So we decided to go raid some Rheinland trade lanes in hopes of picking up some nice loot (btw we are just trying this out on our own server, so we're not on any public servers yet). While floating around in the New Berlin system, casually picking off Rheinland police squads and Republican Shipping freighters, all of a sudden our bio-armor shields and hulls were swept away from under our noses, like we were hit by massive radiation or invisible torpedos or something. It wasn't shots fired by the trade lanes or from other ships that we could see, it was as if something was just eating away at our bio-armors. Within a few seconds I had exhausted all my bots and batts and exploded in mid-air. My friend managed to get back to a base before he ran out of hull.

What was that all about? A bug or is it intentionally programmed, and in that case why? What's the explaination?
