How I am reading the shield punch description, is that 50% of the beam damage is not affected by shields (so does hull damage). I was planning to use this against carriers, since even with a 500 (or whatever) damage beam attack you need 2 hits against every fighter to shoot them down.
Well obvious it does not work that way, so what exactly is shield punch doing?
Could someone please explain to me what shield punch (and similar ship parts) is supposed to do?
I think it's bugged. Similar thing happened to Kinetic Acceleration in beta, where it's got a flat value where a percent should be. In other words, instead of ignoring 50% of shields, it is ignoring 0.5 points of shield.
Submit a ticket.
Well after pushing a bit I got CS to forward the bug and it should be fixed "in some future patch" 
.. though the tone of the message looked a bit like "and now stop bugging me" so I guess I'll have to wait and see.
