Curious about what kind of shields you've all seen/owned. The best I've seen is an REd lvl 8 shield with 17.43 regen and 2568/2487 shield hitpoints. (or whatever they call em)

I will update it with my EXACT stats next time I log ingame!

Would agree that's got to be an old "exploited" shield and frankly should be removed from the game if so because they are entirely unbalancing...well...guess we'd have to have some balance to unbalance really...

My reward shield re'ed to the standard 2555 f/b and a nice regen of 18.17.

post a screenie.....how old is that? 3900 f/b means it was probably REd back when rebel shield alignments carried over into REing...ive never seen anything that came close to the T8 reward shield's f/b rating ever drop

Dunno how to post a screenie - tell me how and i will endeavour to do so!

Remove the new ships except the Xwing and Interceptor from the game then I may voluntarily give up this shield!

And for your information I never knew of a RE shield exploitation bug, and if this was the case wouldnt the shield then have different front/back points as you can only boost either front or back on 1 particular shield at a time?

Don't get too defensive, you can have your shield; it doesn't really bother me, but it was in fact not the way the devs intended shields to be re'ed (or at least now how they wanted if done after they saw the giant shields that were resulting.)

The process was really very simple: get the biggest front shield you can find, set extreme front command on it, do the same thing with the best back shield you can find, re them with other shields and you have uber shield.

The only reason I think they should be forceably taken away is that it's clearly not fair to any person who was not around during the days of that system. I was around then and have my own ubar shield with more than 4k f/b, but I have stored it and it will never again be fitted into any ship. Not only is it just not fair during pvp, I don't find being completely invulnerable in pvp or pve any fun at all.

no sense in complaining about the unfairness of the shield. there's no pve challenge post master (certainly none where a 3900 shield would garner an unecessary advantage) and in pvp a 2 hit shield compared to a 1 hit shield won't mean much either.

I take it you have stored your prenerf engines and DIs as well?

You would be surprised at its usefulness. It can make things more fun in that you can be a bit more crazy in blowing things up. Though it is pretty well balanced as it has a BIG handicap. Shield shunt is nowhere near effective on this as on any other shield I have and boy does it drain your capacitor!
