Personal Shield Capacitiy Broken

I speced into Juggernaut Shielding and found a problem.


Here's my captain, after beaming down, with a Mk 12 CC personal shield equipped. Capacity is not what it should be:

Same for Mk 13:

Removing the shield, and re-equipping it, solves part of the problem. (*Edit* Shield capacity drops to the lower number again when you change maps.) He's at the correct capacity for the shield now, but Juggernaut Shielding, it would appear, is doing nothing. Here's the Mk 12:

I noticed that shield capacities for bridge officers are broken as well. She doesn't even reach the shield's stated capacity. Here's Mk 12:

Seems broken to me. Anyone else have the same problem?

    Yes, I reported this on tribble a bit less than a month ago. It updates if you unequip and re-equip the shield. I'm not sure if it's just a text display issue or if the shield's actual capacity isn't updated until it is re-equipped.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Someone else is having the same problem:

    Probably a lot of players, but they haven't noticed.


    I logged on today, left DS9, and encounter my first bug. The camera zoomed in all the way again. I head for Orellious, then Eta Eridani, where I notice all my bridge offer stations are empty. At this point I can't help but LOL.


    I finish with the duty officer assignments, then head for the asteroid field. I put five rich mining claims in inventory for use this weekend (I know they can be used from the bank, but it was to remind me as well). I finish that, and what a surprise, another bug. The game used a claim from my bank, of course, and somehow the five claims in my inventory have become account bound and won't stack with the others in the bank. F*****g great....


    I have broken ground gear, broken space gear, a broken weapon location on my ship, tray issues (like everyone else), the upgrade system is "use at your own risk", and I'm probably forgetting some things.


    Time for me to go into maintenance mode. Duty officer assignments, 20 hour R&D, then log out. The number of unresolved issues is shocking, as is the amount of money people pour into such a broken game.

    Another player with the same problem:

    The latest patch further broke things. The Mk 13 CC Personal Shield is now down to 475 capacity, from 527. Well done...

    No wonder my shields seemed absurdly fragile.

    I am seeing much less than that total.

    308 to 335 FED
    407 to 475 ROM

    KDF ?

    But it's been like this for months now and sometimes it's zero for health. It really needs to be straighten out. I the fed side I have PS rated at 391 but then it had jump 425, then 471 and now it's 371. All over the place with numbers. Hire someone to work on Personal Shields so the totals match on the ground in battle.

    Just want to add I am having the same issue. Have CC Personal Shield MK XIV which says I should have 620.3 shields yet I have 531 shields. And the 531 starts dropping as soon as I start taking damage so there is no phantom 90 points of shielding.

    Verified the issues with the character and Boff Shields vs Shield tooltips associated with Juggernaut Shielding. Thanks for the reports.

    I have been having the same problem with all BOFF, no Juggernaut Shielding.
