Yes..
I made that diagram using my own experience of hitting the gunboats.
But thinking about it, it may be that the missiles have a different hit ratio on non Vanilla ships than on the Vanilla 1s...
But then again, on the actual freelancer gunboats and bigger didn't have shields. So there (My guess) is no hard coding that missiles can do anything to shields. There we rely only on the Mod... As most people know. There is only so much you can do with modding.
