PM sent.

Another thing about regens. They might not have much use on ships but when it comes to a base it seems reasonable to put a lot of them and the regens on it, doesnt it? AI was doing that a lot back in SEIII and it had its uses. such a thing was only beatable by a handful of ships with shield burners.

Too bad bases aren't of too much strategic use.

Shield Regeneration in SEIII was also very useful on Baseships with boarding parties.

As I recall, when you boarded a ship, you took only 100 damage points to "shields and boarding parties". With a baseship having 130 shields, you could capture, and still have 30 shields and all your boarding parties... Regenerate the shields for a second and third capture, or just capture a second immediately

That's in Space Empires three, and that technique expoited the method that the program used to lower your shields and kill your parties.

Anyway i still consider shield regens to be of use. Especially if you come on an enemy with these by a surprise.
