Joph Seastriker has an ability that reads "after you lose 1 shield, gain 1 evade token". This can be interpreted one of two ways

a) "1" is a hard limit (i.e. If you only lose one shield, you only gain 1 evade token), which would make it useless if a single shot takes out more than one shield.

b) "1" is a limiter (i.e. each time you lose a shield, you gain 1 evade token), which would make it OP but only for a single round.

I'm wondering what the consensus on interpretation of the effect is.

It's the 2nd--there isn't really any debate about it onhere.

Damage is taken (this shields lost) individually: you lose a number of shields other than 1.

just like with tavson, damage is suffered one at a time, so you gain an evade token for each shield you loose. not a good ship to focus fire when he's a full health, unless you have a vast number of guns pointed at him. if he has no shields left he's pretty easy to kill.

Makes sense, but I've been stymied about how I should play him. I've been thinking in terms of the first interpretation.

Don't. Every shield lost is a separate trigger for Seastriker's ability because every hit and crit is applied 1 at a time. Playing it as your first interpretation outlined is ignoring how the rules for damage work.
