Many Greetings good fellow captains.
I have a big problem with a new advanced solanae shield I got now?
The problem is a simple one, It is a very rare uncommon ship voth shield!
Which having these amazing specs:
Solanae Resilient Sheld Array MKXII with the power of:
( 6.241.5 Max Shield Capacity ) &
( 5% Absorption ) & ( 5% Bleedthrough ) & ( 173.4 Shield Regeneration )
& ( Recharge rate of ever 6 Seconds ) & ( Can Reflect 33% of damage back to the attacker )
Plus gives me = Max Hull Restorted to 1.020.4 too Plus many other restore and protections?
Mounted on a enterprise -E type starship which has many powerful updated weapons and power systems plus armored hull tech and lots of batteries for the shield if needed?
The thing is it sounds and looks amazing voth tech shielding but in a big battle were normal ship weapons are fired at it, It is just TRIBBLE?
It does not cope with even a small amount of weapons being fired at it before it fails and my ship gets blown up?

So what the heck is wrong with it?
It is very rare and powerful and advanced shield,
But it just even with the extra batteries used when need to boost it etc.!
It still can't even cope in a small battle?
So what can any of you tell me how to make it better or what shield would be the best one to fit to my ship class instead of this shield which really sound a great shield but is rubbish in a battle?
Yet it is worth 110.000 EC to buy? :eek:
So any better shield idea's would be great for theis type of ship to protect it in a big muti-ship battle so I don't get killed like 5 or 6 times in the big battles because this so called rare high tech shield fails after a few hits?
Help on what better shield would be great Plus were to get it and the codts of new shield?

The best shield in game will go down quickly in a multi ship fight. you need heals, high battery power, speed to increase defence rating, resistances they all add up.
that shield at 100 power will restore 350 or so every 6 seconds.(3500 per minute) pretty much nothing. compared to the latest stf i done i healed 160k shield in 5 minutes
I would say post your ship and boff abilities, skill points etc and see if people can help improve your survivability

Dealing with damage is a multi-variable equation. It includes ...
-your resists to damage types
- your ship's shield coefficient
- your captain's resist traits and skill tree
- your velocity / defense
- your bridge officer powers, such as emergency power to shields which effects resists and shield health....
- your captain type (engineer emergency buttons, science resist all aura, or tactical's lack of anything defensive)
- your dps (if you SPLAT the entire group in 1/2 a second, it does not have time to shoot you much)
- other consoles (gimmicky activated consoles)
- power levels (consoles and gear and settings and captain traits and more) (shield power level helps regen)
- your shield (cap, regen, absorb/bleedthru, other properties)
and so on. Or, to put it briefly, if the only variable you have cranked up in the above list is your shield cap, it won't last long.
The solanae is a free, easy to get starter item. It will do "ok" but the rep omega shield or fleet shields are much better. You cannot buy it, 110k is the vendor sell value of which you get about half. So if you upgrade you get a little something for it. For reference a junky looted shield is often worth about 20-30k at the vendor, so yours is worth a little more, not much really. Also for reference, a single good battle with some decent loot drops will get you 200 - 500k EC at 50 just from vendor trash items.
The fleet shield you can buy from a t5 fleet; there are t5 fleets that allow you to buy if yours does not have the proper store unlocked. These shields have a solid capacity and you can choose the cap vs regen. Most of them have a built in resist to several damage types, like armor engineer consoles. All of them adapt, getting resistance to whatever type of damage is hitting them.
The omega shield is from earning t5 omega rep. There are multiples here but one of them has a large capacity and the entire set is rather "tanky".
No worse than any other shield, that can be vaped down in a matter of a 1sec or 2.
