Ion torpedoes bypassing shields? I was trying to take down an MC-75 in practice mode on Veteran difficulty, testing out the ion torpedo. After a few successful shield hits I noticed that the torpedo was no longer impacting the surface of the shield, and the shield was slowly regenerating. After running back to the support ship and re-supplying, I attacked the flagship from the front and slowly followed the torpedo along its trajectory. Sure enough, the torpedo passed straight on through the shield and struck the hull, dealing no damage, failing to hit a subsystem. Am I missing something, or does this behavior contradict its description, which states that the ion torpedo is, “Ideal vs. *Capital Ship shields* and subsystems”?
