4.87 fighter missiles finetuning

[Nerva]

Right now fighter shield hitboxes aren't active. I'm working on making them active (for ALL fighters and several smaller gunboats, not just the vanilla ones), which will ensure that gun type weapons can quite easily drop a fighter shield by aiming center mass (as long as shields are up, shooting through a ship such as the Sabre will not be possible - shield grid follows the outer edges of the model largely).

Does that mean shield hitboxes will be convex hulls wrapping around the ship?
Ships like Titan, Courbe and other such "finned" ships are going to lose their shields very fast. Shields in general are going to be easy to drop, except for some ships like the new Raven's Talon and the Nyx.
Or will it be like in 4.86, where shields were approximately skin-tight?
