[Balance/NPC] NPCs do not deal shield damage to each other

[Pinko]

Type: Balance/NPC issue
Bug: NPCs do not deal shield damage to each other, any damage between them is dealt directly to the hull

Reproduction Steps:

• Watch NPCs fight - in my case, I watched them fight in Leeds (the molly transport that always spawns) and in California (LPI vs Rogues)
  
• Observe their shield, shields do not go down at all.
  
• NPC ship blows up when hull is gone, with their shields still fully operational.

Visual glitch. Their shields are already down, shoot them with so much as a mining array and it'll instantly be gone. Not sure what causes the glitch, but since it's purely player-side visual I never worried about it. Been around for years.
