Actually yeah, and in fact I thought they always did in the mod. They use Phased Polaron Beams, which in their debut episode, completely and totally raped a Galaxy-class starship and destroyed it. It wasn't until the Federation developed new shield technology that they were able to defend against those weapons. This could translate as the Feds and other races as having late tech shield technology that defends against shield skipping weapons, while the Dominion would have it from the start, since presumably they'd be able to defend against their own weapons.

Atrocities- You were right about the Dominion. The Polaron Beam skips normal shields (The Polaron Cannon has normal damage type though). With regards to Fulgrym's idea though, the Dominion seem to have the exact same type of shields as the other races (they don't start out with phased shields).

I found a somewhat major bug. I decided to take a peek at the Klingon Empire because I was curious as to why I haven't encountered them yet despite them having twice as many ships and 100 more planets than me. The one thing that couldn't escape my notice was that almost all of their combat ships were using the Resource Ship hull. 248 out of a total of 331 ships. They are at war with two minor empires, but because of their terrible combat abilities, both empires homeworlds are intact. The sad thing is I thought the Klingons were the only real threat to me because no one else comes close to our fleet strength and economic capacity, but it rather seems they will be a cakewalk like all the rest.

I am still compiling a list of bugs for the AST and STM mods. I will eventually post and update for them.
