Which would have shields with high resistances to every type of damage, but would only be resistant to one damage type at a time and would change to a new damage type(maybe once every 30 seconds?) this would require having weapons with different damages to take it down quickly.
TSB has this, well, the shield anyways (in a similar form). I haven't finished the model for the capships (only the hunter drone, which has a weaker non-immunity-forming shield)
The shield works like this:
The more it gets hit by one damage type, the more it resists it. If hit by another damage type, it will get a penalty proportional to the amount of immunity built up, and will reset. Various shield versions have different penalty & max resistance factors, as well as different speeds at which they can adapt.
