Default Phase shields question

Hi folks.

What, exactly, is the difference between phase shields and standard shields? The manual and in-game resources don't really say.

Thanks.

Phased shields will stop Phased Poleron Beam fire; regular shields won't.

Cool, but are phased shields a true superset of regular shields?

Is there anything standard shields will stop but phased shields won't?

Phased shields will stop anything a standard shield will stop as well as Phased Polaron Beams (or modded weapons with the Skips Normal Shields damage type)
