BEST SHIELD

[xaviervelastin]

oh ****! angry.gif
then the best shield for my VHF is the adv. brigandine (11000)?!?
holy ****!
my hull is above 24000...with multiplier it's almost 50000.....
and my shield is MAX 11000?!?!?
ma porco dio!

yeah, I found that a bit odd too -- you can get, for fighters, really high hull ratings cos of armour, but then the shields aren't high at all in comparison, as soon as you get out of the core systems, shield starts goign down like never before and you gotta start learning to deal with the shakiness of hull hits

really irritating

Your dark moors by night is the unspoken sunshine of hope in the morning. Tomorrow you will be presented with a kid, whose forehead, swollen with newly growing horns, will predict the battles of love -- In vain: For the offspring of this playful flock will stain your cold rivers with red blood. Death will consume your land, and this kid, martyr to a forgotten cause, will lie in your streams forever, never rotting.

And we will sing in X Minor, our lack of hope of change.

Am i the only one who has noticed?
*Sits back and waits for "What is the best thruster" thread*

None. They do the same damage to all shield types.

True, but you have to take into consideration that 90% of weapons have a much higher hull damage rating. Whether in Disco or not. Not to mention the hull damage that missles/torps can lop off.

Besides, shields are just that. Shields. I like the fact that a high-tech armoured vessel can take a beating without just having to rely on a shield that may have weaknesses. This ain't Star Trek where they can just "recalibrate" the shields and be near impervious to hostile fire.;)

in single player, i think you could use universal battleship shields on heavy fighters, it was totally unbalancing to have an near invincible battleship shield in my Titan, but it took up all of my cargo space if i remember right.
