It says for the seeking weapons trait that it ignores shields on the quick reference sheet I have but I have seen in other posts while researching some other questions drone attack examples where shields take damage first. Is the ignore shields for drone weapons with seeking trait incorrect on the quick reference sheet?

There's a link for the ones shown in those pictures on the ADB Star Fleet webpage. http://www.starfleetgames.com/Call To Arms.shtml
Alternatively, if you PM me your email address I can send you the ones I posted up a while back (dead link now).

Correct. Phaser have the Precise Weapon Trait. This allows them to add one (+1) to the rolls on the hit table. This means a 1 which is a Bulkhead Hit (or no damage) becomes a 2 which is a solid hull hit. It also makes a roll of 5 (a solid hit) become a 6 which is a Critical Hit.
Question concerning the scout trait since in last session of play testing the redirect fire at least how we read it seems op. Is it the intent that a scout ship can use the redirect ability basically unlimited times in a turn(outside of just one weapon system per firing ship) for any fire going at all enemy ships that are with in 36" of it?

Using the redirect fire rules in the rulebook:
When the scout ship moves, select one ship within 36". Roll the CQ check.
If it passes, every friendly model that targets that ship can chose one weapon system to reroll AD that miss.
Note: a weapon system is one line on the ship record - not all phasers for example
Note2: redirected weapons don't haveto be the same - one ship may select a phaser, another ship can chose its disruptors.
Note3: since plasma and drones don't roll to hit, this doesn't work for them.
Final note: scouts don't work like this in the SFB universe. These redirection rules do work and have worked in other versions of ACTA.

Got another inquiry concerning rules.
Special Warp out now originally I had thought when it said end phase it was referring to end of movement you can warp but after much chatter we were rethinking that it meant you don't warp until the very end of an entire turn wondering which is it.
Also suicide shuttles now this reads a little more confusing in that it says at any end phase it touches the stem of a ship it can detonate which here would make me think that is at the end of any phase during a turn again is that correct wherein theoretically at the end of movement after you dump one out and move it the shuttle could blow up before attack phase and avoid defensive fire? I am sure more to come.

Maximum Warp Now! :- The ship doesn't warp off the table until the End Phase, although you declare it in the Movement Phase as normal.
Suicide Shuttles :- They can move in the same Movement Phase they launch (remember shuttles move after all ships have), and be detonated if they are touching an enemy ship in any End Phase (not the end of any phase).
