How do I change the Shivan shield animation from that red lightning effect to something closer to the way it was in the original FS2 (basically just a red glow)?

You could make a file called derp-sdf.tbm and put this inside it:

#SPECIES DEFS

$Species_Name: Shivan
+nocreate
   +Shield_Hit_ani: shieldhit01a

#end

Thanks, now I have different shield animations for Hertak and Shivans
