I'm curios about shield Absorption ratings. (Resilient Shield Array) It has been postulated that absorption means damage converted to shield energy. Is there anything official on this? Sorry if this is an A & A already but I haven't found anything official from cryptic.

    as far as i can tell:
    A normal shield has a 10% bleedthrough, wich means 10% of all damage will ignore shield and hit the hull
    the absorbing shield has a 5% bleed and 5% absorb, meaning 5% of the damage hits the hull and, as far as i can tell, 5% of the damage is simply ignored (ie: shields take 90%, hulltakes 5% and 5% is mitigated)
