New guy questions

Not sure if these are bugs or intended or just quirks, so sorry if I'm stepping on someone's toes by posting them here.

1. The basic ion weapon, costs 30sc - (Ion Blast?) the effect seems to penetrate shields but the visual graphic does not. Umm... not sure how this is intended to work as I could've sworn that the mouse-over tooltip doesn't have a Shield Penetration rating.

2. As soon as you destroy a ship or ionize or destroy their boarding teleporter, all enemy personnel on your ship disappear. This just has to be a bug. Right?

3. Is there a list of bugs? I looked at the http://ftlwiki.com/wiki/Home but it seems to just have started, is there a list of gear and weapons somewhere?

Thanks for a great game!

1. It doesn't penetrate shields, but if it hits shields, it affects the shield generator.

2. Probably a bug?

3. There is a getsatisfaction page with all the bugs on it.

2. is definitely a bug unless the boarders were low on health and they teleported back right as their ship blew up (they will retreat if they can when low on health).
