And you haven't even tried it.
I genuinely hope Frontier don't listen to your opinion, the opinion of people who think they already know all the answers and aren't willing to test things really isn't worth much very much.
If I told you that getting shot in the head by a .308 rifle is fatal, would you need me to prove it to you by shooting you in the head?
This is not some nebulous 'deals some % of damage' or 'has some variable effect on shields' guff. FDev stated it pretty clearly; this modification instantly kills shields when used within the priming window. It's also applied to a weapon that is already the de-facto choice for PvP, a place already unfriendly to shields on the majority of ships The remainder of which are entirely reliant on SCB use (and are much slower than most PvP ships) to survive. This weapon will either A) kill shield use entirely among willing PvP participants, or B) force every PvPer to use as-yet unmentioned modules that directly counter this one. Either way it ends up perpetuating the same tired, stagnant meta we currently 'enjoy'.
