Re: phased shields?
Ionic dispersers, I believe.
The engine destroying weapons; they don't go through shields.

Re: phased shields?
IIRC, Security Station Only, Boarding Party Only, and Engines Only are the only 3 special comp-only damage types that do not skip shields. They do normal damage to the shields until the shields are down.

Re: phased shields?
this is from the html manual
Only Engines Will only damage engines. It also has the added benefit that shields and armor will not stop it.

yep, that does work. The chant crystal from Devnull Mod uses that. Also that ability has been given to the Graviton Hellbore in some mods (which ones I cannot recall right now).

In Proportions. It is my favorite weapon now. Not the best and most efficient for sure but I just like the name  and "skips all shields" sounds very cool to me.
