Everything I heard or read about it says it was fully shielded even when cloaked, or else those shots that hit from the E-E and the Norexians would have been a lot more damaging...

Aye, probably shielded.

Looked like it to me.

In the battle it was shown to have shields. The weapons fire never made contact with the hull.

Except maybe for that salvo of QT's near the end of the battle. :wink:

True but those seems to bypass shields so they wouldn't give us a good showing.

That might actually be another example of that ability. They did a hell of a lot of damage also; that's what brought down the cloak.

I'm pretty sure somewhere in the movie someone said the shields weren't up. I don't remember where.

The Scimitar's shields were at 70% total... with most of the damage being to the forward.

That's the logical assumption, for sure.

Agreed, however with proof it remains just that, an assumption. Though we also have no reason too doubt it either.
