Conflicting PSB. FT2 describes beams as *particle* beams, which would
make them vulnerable to these shields as well :-/

See above.

GS-1 stops 52% of the damage, GS-2 86% (unless we're talking SubPacks
for which the figures are 86% and 97% respectively, since they are
missiles but but read the dice as beams do). 

Normal screens stops 21% and 42% of incoming beam damage.

Well, it's a good way to survive SM hits :-/

Is it possible to have back-up emitters?
