My shield facing value was just under 15k per facing previously. Noticed after logging on a few minutes ago while outside ESD it has dropped to 9.5k, the base value of my shield. Its not getting the bonus from my deflector array or other set abilities..

Anyone else getting this?

    Definitely noticing something weird when I remove my exotic particle field exciter. My shields are at 9.5k (should be 14.4k). Removing the console flashes the shield value to 14.4k, then goes back down to 9.5k.

    Looks like something broke...

    I'm already nigh unkillable at ~7k max shields. who needs ridiculous numbers like 15k?

    Could it be something to do with this item in the patch notes?

    Resolved an issue which was causing any Trait granted by the Specialization Tree to be available regardless of being slotted or not.
    Are we there yet?

    No, nothing to do with specialisation. My MK XIV Elite fleet shield has a value of 9.5k, but my deflector and various set bonuses increase shield HP upto 14.9K but that is not happening. Seems to be a bug. I have posted this in the bug report forum.

    Just logged in and yes, shields are reporting base values. Hopefully it is just a display bug and not actual, cus running CC is not going to be fun with those numbers....

    Don't worry, it'll get a timely fix ... if you consider 7 days to be timely, cause it won't be fixed until next thursday, even if they fix it internally today.

    Is this a simply a display error in the tooltip/stats or is this actually reflected in the shield final HP value?

    If the stats in the ship tab is to be believed then I too am down by around 3k in shield strength.

    Make sure you're checking in system space, not on the ground or sector space. The game's wonky like that.

    Yep, Cryptic screwed up again, big time!

    I came in here, expecting this to just be bull; but no, 7k indeed (should have been 15k). I also unslotted like my crafted Field Exciter (+25% Shield Capacity, amongst other things), and nada: no effect at all. No other field boosting console, either.

    Yeah, no; we're not total n00bs, you know?! :) It really *is* broken -- horrendeously so, even.

    This deserves an emergency fix. Please, make it so.

    Heh, the game is wonky in a fun way right now...your shield capacity while on Ground with nothing applying is your shield capacity while in Normal Space where everything should be applying.

    What's fun is...

    Just stopped to say it's the same for me - hope this will be fixed soon, but as we all know there won't be two patches in less than a week, so enjoy!

    Has anyone gone into combat yet to see if it is a display bug, or an actual capacity bug?

    Has anyone tried it in combat yet? If that's wrong, it's a showstopper!

    lol... Now that's what I call a proper bug...I guess there won't be an emergency patch rolled out... Hull tanking ftw, as usual though :rolleyes:

    In combat I noticed no difference. Slotting unslotting exciter made no change to my stated stats.

    this^

    This is most certainly a problem that NEEDS to be addressed as soon as possible. Us SCI vessel people are very concerned.

    Actually looks like a tooltip issue. Number bounces back and forth between the Ground and Normal Space numbers while in combat (including reflecting the damage they've taken)...but they didn't drop any faster visually as if they had a lower capacity than they normally did.

    edit: For example...

    7539/7539
    7539/7539
    7539/7539
    7539/7539

    Might blink...

    15107/15107
    15107/15107
    15107/15107
    15107/15107

    Then blink...

    15107/15107
    7539/7539
    7539/7539
    7539/7539

    Then blink with some damage...

    14907/15107
    7539/7539
    7539/7539
    7539/7539

    ...to...

    7339/7539 (same -200)
    15107/15107
    15107/15107
    7539/7539

    ...to...

    14907/15107 (same -200)
    7539/7539
    15107/15107
    15107/15107

    And so forth...

    edit: Lol, it's kind of sad that I could just sit there in CCA watching shields like that while parked inside 3km of the Entity while not really paying much attention to anything else other than spamming things, keeping the range, and watching numbers.

    No bouncing numbers for me at all: just showing base dmg. it's dead, Jim.

    N.B. On the upside, Enhanced Predictive Algorithms and Improved Command Frequency are *still* working when unslotted!

    Honestly, who's paying these people?! Oh wait, that would be me! :P

    It seems I'm notcing this too, my ships' shields are reporting base values in the ship equipment window (in Crystalline Cataclysm), and I am noticing it's a bit harder to keep shields up than it was just yesterday, could be that I'm taking more fire, but it could be weaker shields too...:confused:

    Having the same issues.

    I just ran CCN on five toons, and noticed no difference in actual combat. Granted, this is only in normal, but I hope this means it's a display bug only.

    Yeah, my Aegis with skills and gear should be sitting around 17k and now it's at 10k. Uh, wth Cryptic? If this is just a display issue I have no problems. If not, fix it now. This is a big issue and not some "we don't take the servers down for any kind of bugs becuase it will be fixed next thursday" bull TRIBBLE excuse.

    Yup, seems to be a pure stat display error.

    No offense, but you've determined this how exactly?! Is there a way to tell from the CombatLog?

    Not so sure it is just a display error. Just finished a FFA and my shields are depleting like crazy. Did one yesterday and only the boss did noticeable damage. Same character/ship/setup.

    So I'll say it is actual and will hopefully be addressed asap.
