I’m pretty sure a fraction still goes through Stat Trek shields too. If not, then why do sparks shoot out of the terminals and things catch fire when shields are still holding?
I always assumed that was because the shield was failing and so to maintain it they have to divert excess power to it, which fries their systems. Or, another interpretation is that impacting the shields causes a power feedback which drives excess power to it unintentionally, and again leads it to frying/sparking.
