ok. so if that is the case, how does this rule apply?

"If an effect instructs a player to deal a Damage

card to a ship, this is different from the ship

suffering damage. The card is dealt to the ship

regardless of whether the ship has any shield

tokens remaining"

Based on what has been discussed here, wouldn't the ship in question already need to have it's sheilds depleted before an effect would be applicable? IE a damage card delt face up. If so, then the above quoted rule is pointless because the ship wouldn't have any sheild tokens remaining. Or am I just totally missing something? I'm just trying to understand. I appreciate the reply.
