This post title may be a bit missleading. My shields did not vanish from my ship, but out of my inventory. Last night I purchased two pieces of armor (mark IV) and a Mark IV shield generator from a vendor (Oa) outside Coronet, on Intrepid. When I got left the vendor all was well. When I got back to the starport to install my new goodies, I noticed the shield generator was gone. I checked my email and it said I had made the purchase. I went back to the vendor and purchased another shield generator, checked my inventory and there it was. I headed back to the starport to install it, thinking, oh well stuff happens. I checked my inventory as I left the vendor and the shield generator was there. I checked again about half way back and poof, no shield generator. After spending 150k (75k each) I had had enough. Has anyone seen anything like this before??

Yes. Sometimes stuff disappearwhen you cross a server boundary. I think they have a fix for this in Test Center right now. It usually reappears in your inventory after logging off for a while or after a server reset (although the server hardly resets nowadays).

This is a lag issue. It used to happen to me frequently outside of Moenia when I was running a BE shop there.
Best thing you can do is sit in one spot for a while, or better yet log out for about 15-20 minutes, to give the server zones time to catch up on the transactions.
I've been seeing a lot of lag problems for the past several days. I went on a quenker hunt yesterday and stirred up a nest of pikets and blasted away with Strafe 2. They animals took damage to about 1/4 HAM remaining and then basically went invulnerable while I was still taking damage left and right. Bailed out of the fight and ran away on my speeder to get out of aggro, came back and watched from 80m and 5 minutes later all my stored damage kicked in and they dropped like stones. This has happened to me several times over the weekend.
CHeck your inventory when you log in today and I bet your shield is there waiting for you.

The shields came back last night. Both of them were in my inventory when I logged on. And now I have two. Oh well, better than none.

You also have to watch your inventory because the new inventory sorting is really retarded, sorts stuff in no apparent order so the last item you receive is no longer at the bottom of your inventory.
