[Ship Stats] Nomad Cruiser lacks harmonic slots - Chronicron - 07-21-2022
====================
Type: Ship Stats
Bug: Nomad Cruiser lacks harmonic slots
====================
Siris has no shield harmonic slots, unlike every single cruiser in the game.

Not everyone has intended to get Harmonic Slots, some of them like
Caliburn
Praefect (I have this one)
Scylla
Siris
Typhoon (I have this one)
And probably is because they are meant be played as "Hit n'Run" destroyers, due their impressive shape, small hitbox and all of that thing ...
Is kinda justified, but i asked this before and that what dev and community told to me ...
Hope you get your response

The item was explained simply as a method to help balance the various ships, giving some more armour, others more shields. The only way to give certain ships more shields is through equipment like these, hence why they exist. Most lighter cruisers have maneuverability or some other variation that makes it so they don't need increased shields. Some, like the Praefect, have increased hull instead. The Caliburn has better turning. On and on.
tl;dr they exist to get around game engine limitations to give ships different amounts of shielding, without making a bunch of shields for each cruiser.
