Personally, as an engi, I never use reflect/damage shields in team missions. It's not really because of the calm issue either, although that is part of it. I simply don't want to agro pets after their master is dead. Perhaps this will change once I get into the higher levels, but for now I am ok without using the shields. To tell you the truth, I actually solo far more then I team anyway. But I agree whole-heartedly that the damage shields hitting after calm takes effect bug needs to be fixed. I highly doubt FC intended shields to be solo mission usable only.
