The Sunbeam was a trading ship. I probably had no shields and slower engines as it was supposed to fly in known space. The Degasi might have been a exploration ship which then needed shieds and faster engines and thrusters. The Degasi may have got out of the way in time but was still clipped by the QEP beam. There shields also protected them. This is just my theory and might be wrong.
