What does the shield bug workaround do, exactly?

[Captain Trek]

How exactly did The_Boz achieve a supposedly balanced workaround to the shield bug? What did he do?

[FactionHeir]

The shield value was removed and divided between armor and defense instead.

Since 1.2 its been officially fixed though, so no need for that.

I know, I was just wondering how the_Boz did it... :)

What mod did The_Boz do it in? Take the EDU of his and compare it to the EDU in 1.2 vanilla and you will have your answer.
