Shield vs. weapon stats available

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Shield vs. weapon stats available

Are there any available stats on weapon damage on shields, depending on weapon and shield type?

I very often have to prepare for battle, choosing between positron, graviton and molecular shields in different classes. If they all were in same class, I would just pick the shield type best fit for my opponent's weapon. But when choosing between a class 4 shield of the best fit type and a class 5 shield of a less suitable type, it gets more triggy.

Do shield type matter when shields have failed? I always use a Debilitator or Stunpulse to rip the opponent's shields quickly. Are there then any point in specifically choosing weapons that do the most damage to the opponent's type of shield?

Once the shields are down, your weapons do full damage.

Choosing weaponry to fit the opponent's shields or shields to fit the opponent's weaponry is largely a waste of time. The difference is only 20% in effectiveness. The other thing to consider is that all the high-level stuff, the cl10, seems to do 100% to all shield types (normally, weapons do 80%, 100%, or 120% based on the shield/weapon types).
