I thought that "dealt" always referred to dealing a card, either face-up or face-down. If you suffer a critical, that is when you have an uncancelled critical on a die. Since this triggers when you suffer the damage, I think it does bypass shields.

But I did not read it that way until I came here and saw this discussion, so if it does work that way then this might actually be decent, when originally I didn't think it useful at all.

It is not clear to me why they would introduce this as a new card type, instead of just using the game text, saying "When the opponent suffers an uncancelled critical, instead of suffering damage normally search the damage deck and choose a pilot critical to deal to the ship."

It seems that this is just more complicated. Of course, using game text makes it almost impossible to have Kylo (crew) to work as intended).
