Multiple shields

[Fyron]

I've actually also come to like the idea of putting one fighter-class shield generator (1-2kt) on my ship, priority 2-3, and then a heavy at priority 9.

Aren't you not allowed to cheat in that manner in the latest patch (placing unit components on your ship)?

The next question is, has anyone ever tried to build a ship using 320KT shields or armour?

Starbases use the same set of comps as your ship does. Those massive generators are for starbases.

1. You can't now, IIRC. Unless you're like SJ and you mod it in.

2. And if you -do- shoehorn them on a ship, you can sometimes survive collisions. Be sure to crank the time scale to 8x first, that seems to reduce the damage you take.

Fighters use the same shield generators as ships, even in stock...

I steal and install those generators all the time At least until my hull gets bigger, or I switch to 20-40kt generators.
