Vasari phase missles shield negation

from Sins Forums
From reading the description of this tech it sounds like it gives missiles a chance to skip shields and hit the hull directly. My question is how exactly is that useful? From what I have seen of combat ships are going to have no shields left anyway by the time they die.

In theory, it allows you to bypass shield mitigation and get an early start on the hull. Especially useful against the TEC at least that we know of, since the Dunov can pump shields like there's no tomorrow, and one of their cruisers has shield regen powers.

However, the current version of the phase missiles tech falls fairly short from putting that theory to practice, and the devs are aware of it and stated the tech will be tweaked to make them more useful
