After reading everything here I can find on Nubian design I have a few questions:

1) I saw two references with respect to shields, where the writer(s) said to use two slots with RS, one slot without. Why? I would think this would be reversed, to use two slots without RS, and one slot with RS. Thoughts?

2) I saw a few references to a 'fully gatable' ARM Nubian with two slots of ARMs. Well a Nubian hull, and two slots of ARMs, already has a weight of 310, and that is without an engine, shield, computers, etc. With an FM engine and 4 slots of comps the weight is 340, which will take damage from gating. Am I missing something here? What does 'fully gatable' mean to people?
