why can Barge only mount BC Shield?

[SwiftWing]

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!

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.

it used to take up 100 cargo for the BS shield.

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.
