Purple Honor-Shield (the daily badges you get at T5) has bleedthrough

Hey!

I was able to buy the purple shield for my honor badges (am Klingon, don't know how it is called at FEDs). The descriptions lacks the 10% bleedthrough thing, but I can confirm that it has the bleedthrough.

I tested it in several PvP matches and also at the Borgs to make sure (let some borg shoot me while I had my shields on and watched my hull dropping slowly)


Hope this helps someone with his decision.

    they probably have same bleed-through as normal for the type of shield. someone probably was in a rush to get the tooltips entered into the system and forgot to copy/paste that part in.

    If that is indeed the case, it is /exactly/ the same as the T5 badge shield... which makes it pointless, given that you can garner enough badges for the T5 shield in about half as long as the other missions. One is blue, one is purple (epic). But no difference save what, 11 points of regen? If that? Insane.

    has anyone noticed how the engines are no better than the exploration ones either? not one of them beats the current blue one I have.

    I know right???

    Something in there I only found useful is ground combat things such as kits MK X, armors, and more..

    Hmmm... Purple for space combat (except space weapons) are not quite useful as I expect. :(

    in STO there's not a whole lotta differance between items, you could proably fly with all whites and not notice much of a diff..

    it kinda sucks as purples should be worth something to justify the "end game grind" (granted it's easier to get em then it is in most MMOs end game( but that's the base cryptic philophesy, hopefully we'll see cryptic bring in some even BETTER gear once they raise the cap,

    Thats because the Full Impulse bonus on them is bugged and will be fixed in today's patch.

    I agree the very small extra bonus you get make purples pretty pathetic imo they really need to look in to this as there rares are not much better than the uncomman items.

    I fly a Starcruiser, and replaced my aft mine layer with a Tri-cobalt. Ir is touchy to use, but when it hits it is a show stopper. I saw 17k damage with one last night.
