Comments
When a shell hits a hard target, like titanium based shielding on a ship, the speed at which it is moving through the shield creates such a heat wave due to friction that the shield itself becomes plasma that is blown into the ship as the round continues to penetrate.
So, effectively, the shells are a combination mass/plasma weapon already.
Also, I think the plasma is so effective against barriers and kinetic shields because technically a shield would have to lower it's energy output dramatically or risk overloading dramatically causing more damage to internal structures than if the plasma itself would burn the plating. It's the laws of energy transfer that screws with ships and plasma. So a shield would overload and shut down before it could ignite simply because the circuitry can't handle the massive amount of energy to sustain a plasma.
Even if the shields could become plasma, the energy you have to put into the shell would have to exceed the energy to create a plasma for it to reach its target and then ignite it. A chemical process to create a plasma on contact would make more sense. The containment of creating plasma has to concentrate on energy-displacement and re-direction, same goes to actually firing the damn stuff, which would explain why the kintark are leaders in this field of weaponry, seeing as how their very nature would force them to become leading experts in these fields.
Sorry this got longer than I planned. Don't have a potato. Just my thoughts. feel free to ignore my ramblings.
