Excited to make change in your time, then when you finally win the one battle you've chased down you find it's irrelevant and everyone's moved on

OR , since I'm not sure we've been told otherwise, shields at 15% might mean only 15% of the shield emitters work/only 15/ of the surface area of the ship is protected by said shields.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
There are also some weapons that pass through shields or do damage to both. There are tons of reasons why a mostly destroyed ship would have some level of shields.

I don't like the "I'm not this, I'm this" memes very much in the first place, but there's no reason to attack this one as inaccurate.

Pretty sure they're talking about the structural integrity field, which means all of the err passengers have been compromised.

Shields build back over time so the damage could be from when the shields were down previously.

Star Trek logic doesn't allow transporters through shields though (unless they're special plot devices).
