Control-S now toggles all shields on or off.

This scenario may be happens:
Bridge - UGTO Battle Cruiser
EN: Captain, enemy cruiser 400 gu ahead of us.
CA: Identify this ship!
EN: It's an ICC Heavy Cruiser. Oh, their shields are down.
CA: Well done, so we can destroy him easily. TO ALL WEAPON STATIONS: FIRE
EN: Umm, how they do it? Their shields are up, now and all our weapons hasn't hurt him. Now he answer our fire.
CA: REALLY? Then turn our ship to right and and make a jump about 10,000 gu.
EN: Sir, they have destroyed our jump drive. We can't make a jump, neither emergency jump.
CA: So we want surrender our ship. All peoples join the rescue capsules and I will activate the self destruct.
Greetings,

I think he means shield generators, Dead-Eye.  The current % of shielding won't drop without being hit, but your generators won't spend any more energy building them back up.

I know. But if shield generators are deactivated, shields will not protect you, independent of the shield status.
Test the CONTROL+S and you can see at your ship, if the shields are active or not. This is, what I mean.

P.S.
Maybe, it will better to understand, if correct the sentence "their shields are down." to "they haven't any shields."
