The Eradica's shields are pushed too far back to the rear of the ship, so quite a large area of the front is "unprotected". Not sure how to get a screenshot up here...

I can confirm this as well, even though I do not have a picture.

The funny thing is that the VRT suffers from the same exact issue, and again, I do not have a picture.

Yup. I am currently trying to get a picture of it.

Edit: Here we go!

I am sure that if your shield projected inside of the ship, the ship will be cut in twain from the shields. That is not cool, especially if you cut crew members in half - that would leave a big mess and I hate dealing with messes.

P.S. I am sure, Mr. Haze, that your "." is causing the quote system to work despite how silly it sounds to me.

...or the thin mitigation shield that covers the hull would prevent the shield from going in side the ship and therefore would just have a hole in it. Mitigation persists when the shields are depleted so I think that would win. 

 

Actually.... I wonder if the ship models are whats off, not the shields. I notice that turning the camera around them doesn't behave as I'd expect. The Advent Loyalist Titan is a hair off as well, if I remember correctly.

Stop making me look bad. I have to keep some face, you know?

Is there any way to test if the ship model is off and not the shield?

The shield is off, without a doubt. Notice that at the end of the VRT there is a little bulb? Well, the part of the shield that covers the bulb is in the middle of the ship.
