>[Bri] Fighters CAN attack it (reread post).

You are of course aware that I was talking about *interceptor* fighters
(if not, re-read quote above), thus you deliberately include
interceptor fighters as well as other types in your above statement.

Now, interceptors are completely unable to damage starships, which
implies that you intend them to use either their anti-fighter or their
anti-missile rolls.

[Bri] Again, good catch. It would be true, Interceptors would not be
able to effect the Plasma Shield. PDS in anti-ship mode would,
however, be able to attack it.

According to the published rules (FT2 p.4) you allocate all direct-fire
attacks from a single ship before resolving any of them. No conditional
fire orders are allowed, so if there's a plasma shield in the way when
the ship declares fire it can't fire at anything behind that shield. 

[Bri] Correct. One or more ships/fighters would need to kill the 
plasma before other ships could fire through where the plasma was
located.
