Shield Miss use

[msmith619]

I have seen this battleship shield and cruiser discussion over and over again. Wolfpack says he will allow battleship shields on cruisers. He says that on each thread. So, why will we now be fined for having BS shields on cruisers when it has been repeatedly approved? If we need to remove them, where can we buy cruiser shields without having to sell our ship? I don't have the funds to re-buy my cruiser and have seriously screwed my faction with the sellers, gonna take a lot of work to get my ship back with cruiser shields. I have a battleship shield on my cruiser that I use for exploration. Never done PvP do don't feel this is an exploitation.

Also, as an experiment, I tried putting cruiser shields on transports and large trains, they will not equip. So, This is not a problem.

Couldn`t each of these classes have their own type of shield? I mean, just like freighters, HF,LF have their own shields which are compatible only on their assigned ship types. (hope you understand, my english is bad...).  :$

Both Wolf and I have agreed that If your active in PVP on the server, then equipment should not be miss used

I have a battleship shield on my cruiser that I use for exploration. Never done PvP do don't feel this is an exploitation.

This is Related to PVP, not exploration, please read carefully.

If you fly through delta in a train, with no intention of attacking or being attacked by other players, can you still equip a better shield in case of bounty hunter or nomad molestation? If so doesn't this put pirates in a rather bad position? :wacko:

i know what info card says..but ships that can fire two heavy mortars (2,5 mill power used by each) and still has power to fire other weps has a little more power than 550000.

but this thread seems to go in wrong direction....

we must keep on subject...

I agree with finius, wherever there's a loophole, there's exploitation. Letting players off because they haven't actively battered any other player's shields for a while isn't fair game. If this is a server rule that is to be enforced, it should surely be enforced on everyone on the server.

A word of advice - faction empathy! (ok, these are two and here's more)
Ever tried killing the Corsair depots in Delta? (for that matter any depots in the game) One depot counts as if you killed 40 fighters of the owning faction. Do the math!
Also, did you try Gunboat Shields? I think they fit on a train.

If you fly through delta in a train, with no intention of attacking or being attacked by other players, can you still equip a better shield in case of bounty hunter or nomad molestation? If so doesn't this put pirates in a rather bad position?  :wacko:

I think traders should have the freighter shields, after all, they are protected by some "exploits" such as virtual CD immunity I think the pirates are in a rather bad position without the trains mounting an out-of-class shield.
I find the Adv. Champion quite suitable and I trade in the borderworlds with the Corsairs RED as they come.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

I agree, the freighter shields should be used, but say you happen to get disrupted by corsairs, attacked by them, then a nomad battlegroup, battleships and all starts on at you, you're going down pretty soon, the situation is rare, you arent attacked often, but when you are, the patrols and cost will soon mount up, especially with player looting now enabled, however, those are the rules, and as such they will be obeyed, it doesnt really matter, I only have a starflier which I use for terrorising manhattan :crazy: unfortunatley, I hadnt counted on battleships being bigger than me, or higher in the food chain...

[marauder]

Getting attacked by NPCs and player is the risk you run on a multiplayer server, if you don't like it then either find a multiplayer server that doesn't allow player damage or just use open SP.

The shields you get with a transport or train are more then good enough for the few, and highly unlikely, times you do get disrupted by an NPC or player and attacked.

If you want to have a better shield, buy a better ship.

Angel is an admin so whats she says goes, unless igiss says otherwise, so unless your posting screenies of people breaking this rule don't bother posting.

You're wrong.

The 550,000 denotes how much energy it is regenerating. Two regular mortars will drop energy reserves to roughly 1/4 of energy capacity.
