Ineffectiveness rule: Any attack that does less than 1% of the maximum shielding capacity of a unit is absorbed (has no effect). As an example, The Artemis Class has a base attack of 50 and the Atlas has a base attack of 5. The Large Decoy has a base shielding of 10,000. Since 50/10,000 = .005, this means 2,000,000,000,000 Artemis could never damage a Large Decoy that still has it's shield even partially up.
