+--- Thread: why can Barge only mount BC Shield? (/showthread.php?tid=200706)
why can Barge only mount BC Shield? - SwiftWing - 11-24-2023
why does a Barge say it can use a Battleship Shield and can only mount a BC Shield at best? when a BB shield was mounted and was shot away?
Also the BC shield takes up 65 Cargo when the BB shield took up Zero cargo?
when I select a BB Shield it says my ship does not have a hardpoint to mount this Item!

File it as a Report then.

It can mount a slightly silly variety of shield classes, but the highest shield class it has access to is hp_freighter_shield_special_7, which is the Heavy Battleship Shield (the same type that goes on Rheinland Battleships and such).
So it can only mount the strongest shield in the game, I guess.

Not that it matters over all, but it used to take up 100 cargo for the BS shield.
Just /conn and buy the shield you want.

I'd like to throw in my two cents:
A (heavy) battleship shield could be considered as military equipment inRP. As house laws restrict own/foreign military equipment within the respective house, you could face consequences.

Oh no, 100 of my 30,000 cargo space. That 0.33% cargo space is really too precious to squander on a shield.

While that's certainly an interesting interpretation of house laws, the Barge is supposed to operate in deep space anyway.

I wasn’t complaining, just stating what it took up.
