May I know what exactly is Shield Counter? Is it the bug that kills R.I.Ps 
If so, how does it function?

I think no one exactly knows how a shield counter works.
But it maybe related to this.
Shield domes have the tendency to destroy large ships during the last round. It may be a few BS, BC, Destroyers or RIP.
I'm really not not sure if it is the shield dome that destroys the ship. (someone said the battles are computed as a whole and the rounds are just for show)
But in my experience, destroying the shield domes with an IPM usually helps.

I read from one of Mintaka's posts that it has to do with over kill and the extra damage from an attack is redirected at your own ships.

I thought that was the_templar or gumpy.
I can't find the thread.

I believe it was on a post about another type of shield.

Zorg has also confirmed that here is a certain amount of feedback from an attack (especially from overkill) that will result in some strange results. They're working at resolving the issue.

So is it the Overkill that destroys the ships or the Shields?
Are there any other bugs that kill R.I.Ps?

from my experience, I've only had my larger ships taken out by shield counter if i didn't overkill enough. (as in demolish in first round)
