(rounding up), in addition to shields. if you have more than five setbacks, start
adding difficulty dice instead.
For shields, this is what I do: shields become kind of an opposed check: you have
'regular (green)' and 'capital(yellow)' shield dice: you roll a number of dice
equal to the shield value in that area, and each success cancels one point of
damage. triumphs either raise the crit value of the weapon by one for that attack,
OR they reduce the weapon's breech quality by 2 per triumph (if it has one). After
this, armor applies as normal.

Every Speed Bracket (see movement 'costs') difference makes your effective
silhouette one smaller when fired at by a slower ship.
HT/SS are not increased, but shields absorb a shred of either, and at 0 important
vessels go to the critical tables. Since every hit is now a crit, advantages,
triumphs, etc become exceedingly dangerous. But you're not out of the fight
automatically and not in need of a week in drydock.
Then if you make Evasive Maneuvers upgrade difficulty 1 time per rank of Piloting,
to a maximum of the Ship's handling, suddenly Gain the Advantage becomes worth
spending an action on.
