I'm presently using a Lvl8 RE'd with 2550 f/b, Mass of 24.6k, drain of about2k(?), and a recharge rate of 18.2. No reward shields used during RE.

Before I RE'd it, I mixed and matched a lot of loot to find ones that had one or two outstanding traits. It takes a lot of time and patience, but the outcome can be well worth the effort.

Damn thats better than the lvl 10 i looted earlier, came out of DS to see a lvl 10 shield with 18.01 recharge, days before that i got a lvl 10 shield with 2859 rear shield..wish i could find a 2800 front shield to go with it but i dont know..seems unlikely, i gotta post pics...

I think that once you place a shield in your ship, it will even out the front and rare shield hps to be even, averaging them out.

I'm not sure how it works if you RE it without ever "evening them out" though... Does that actually work and keep them uneven, and use the stats? That'd be a nice little glitch to take advantage of if it works that way.

It's not a glitch, and people do it all the time. That's why he said he was looking for a 2800hp front.

*waits for the light to come on*

got it now? good.

but if you remove your sheild from ship before logging every time this NEVER happens

That's treading dangerously close to explaining an exploit. I recommend you rewrite that Il-Vec.

Wait..I dont....have to look for another 2800front shield? i guess that would explain why all my RE shields have the same stats in F/B armor..why didnt i ever think of that! this will put my 2650F/B shields to shame!

actually quite the opposite it's been suggested that using knowledge of rounding to benefit from it post RE could be(I believe that it's actually cosmetic and number is essentially identical but displays rounded) but striving to keep a sheild exactly as it was RE'd is trying to avoid a bug (evening of sheilds/ rounding effectivenessrefire on guns/.....) not exploit it

The evening of shields is not a bug, it was purposefully put in the game to prevent *ding!* exploited shields.

good to see it worked

/looks at the "my new loadout" thread

(sidenote I don't blame Ostat for doing it everyone once they reach a pinacle in a game usually do stuff to make it still fun for them, I blame him for using in PvP where it's a basic I win button)
