Question about shields

I understand that a small amount of "energy shielding" was added to the Starfury in order to protect it from blasts coming from enemy flak and explosions but...

1-This shielding does not protect AT ALL from , say, plasma bolts, right?

2-In the energy management control, if I remove all power from this shield regenerator and redirect it to, say, engines, will blasts hurt more my starfighter?

In the next release, it'd be kewl if you could remove the shielding control, to make it more realistic and to avoid the player wondering if that control does anything at all; for example, put all fighters in "no shields" mode and finding a way so that blasts dont hurt as much as now do.

BTW, could you implement turbulence while under the effect of the engine "exhaust" of a big ship?

With TAP, I havent found the need to do that with the ships, but then again, the HW ships are significantly tougher... :/
