You certainly couldn't ebomb a space station, and IIRC the constrictor was also immune.

could an E-shielding (or inversely damageFromEnergyBomb) percentage in shipdatas be possible?

Nope, the original E-bomb definitely wiped out every ship within range (i.e. every ship in the game in the original version, which didn't keep track of anything not in range), apart from the space station and possibly the Constrictor (I'd have to check on that one, but I think I energy bombed it the first time I ever encountered it). I suppose the C64 might've behaved differently, but it seems unlikely.
The C64 behaved differently then... im 100% sure of it :-)... You couldnt waste a Thargoid Invasion Ship with the E-bomb alone. i´m not sure, but pretty sure, that the Anaconda could survive an e bomb blast too...

The only way to prove it though is to load up a C64 emulator and load the game... which im pretty sure aint going to work on my Vista...
