Also, there is a reference in (6B2e), second to last paragraph:
(6B2e) Special Cases: There are several:
A unit being "towed" (5D6) takes damage at the speed it is moving through asteroids.

I don't think it's reduced to zero, it just becomes that of the towing ship minus-one as you said.

When I get back from Switzerland I will C&P the relevant rule sections combined with other rulings that will establish the point.

Gentlemen, please remember that if you wish to dispute SVC's ruling, he stated that the dispute be done via email.

I was referring to the general shield-damage rules, not the rules for a ship moving into the asteroids on its own. If you shove somebody thorugh sideways, he takes the damage on the side.
