EMP cannons deal pure EMP damage, and therefore go through armor and shields and hits system damage directly. Flux weapons deal EMP/Energy, and deal the extra damage to shields.

Mayhaps the devs should change EMP and ELF to Flux and ELF? It would be less confusing that way.

How best to beat icc shields? Simple.
Be fast enough that they cant run away so that they cant extend the fight duration to take advantage of regen.
Whenever possible focus fire in groups during battles to overwhelm their shields as rapidly as is possible.
Use emp cannons if ugto or elf weaponry if kluthie. (emp can damage engines and reactors which puts a strain on their energy reserves when moving fast and elf directly saps energy)
Thats all I can think of atm.

Im on the receiving end of those weapons when yoou fight and I must say Beam based and EMP will equal it out but then it is all down to who gets the most shots off but the buddy system works very well so if you can't take out a ICC Cruiser then the answer is more gun (or bigger ship) I must say though I like my Light Cruiser Can't wait to get a heavy
In conclusion Be fast to get in close and use beam or EMP or both also call in a friend Better yet invite your other gaming friends to this game tell them its not a spreadsheet war like EVE

When engaging ICC u need to hit separate shield arcs, not all on one. Its best to hit them with 2 ships, then they cant dump all of their shields to the arc u are hitting. UGTO and Kluth u should focus fire to one arc. But vs ICC, u need to spread the damage.
