Sheild Regeneration

[Red-Rocket]

Sheild regeneration is strange, i think it increases by 1% of maximum sheilds, we should just simplify it and give it an upgrade to further interest things
50 sheild regen out of combat
25 sheild regen in combat

Upgrade, Sheild regenerator
10Y 30B and 20G X3 upgrades
increases out of combat by 50 50/100/150/200
increases in combat by 25 25/50/75/100

I don't see how your system is simpler than "shield regens 1% per second".

And this upgrade is too powerful. It would definitely become a mandatory upgrade, which would slow the game down for zero gain. IMO if we do this at all (which I don't think we should because what we have now is simple and efficient), the upgrade needs to have a trade-off or be heavily nerfed.

lol this was kinda a crappy post, nvm that but i think there should be a fixed sheild regen (not 1% but something like 10/s) in battle instead of 0

The issue I see with that is power would then lose a lot of it's importance in a fight. As your shields take damage, you can reduce power to the shields without losing any protection. By the end of the fight you're not using power at all.

this upgrade completly kills the idea of high shield.

with this you could have 200 shield and tank a corvette/wraith whatever


This upgrade is obviously friggin powerful.

[Red-Rocket]

nerf it!

The shield regeneration is not percentage based. It's shield power / 5.

The shield regeneration is not percentage based. It's shield power / 5.

I was just about to put something to this effect. Oh, and it works under fire. As in, raise shields high enough and you won't get hurt. At cost of power, of course.

If you crank that baby high enough you can even raise your shields upwards while under fire, it burns through power FAST but its better than dying with a bunch of power left in the core.

The shield regeneration is not percentage based. It's shield power / 5.

Which still equals 1% of max shields.
50 gw = 1000 shields
50/5 = 10 shields per second = 1% of 1000.

I generally do agree though, more defensive upgrades are needed.
