Max Shield Strength Bug!

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
OK! Someone may have reported this and I am going to do a ticket on it. Captain Science ship 7999. I bought a Defiant class escort. they dropped to 5125. It stayed that way on my science ship. When I discharged my escort they went back up to 7999. It is conclusive this is a bug i the game. I understand the different strengths for different ships. But they should go back up when I put out them back on my science ship.

Anyone else have this problem?

    Probably a graphical error. I've seen this happen in Star Wars Galaxies too, but everything is as it should, it's just displaying the wrong numbers...

    I had a a shield on my X-Wing in SWG, that all of a sudden showed 0/0, but it still took damage like it normally did, and a few days later it showed the correct numbers again, something like 1500/1500, so don't worry...

    Yup, this is a known bug. And yes it is only a display bug. Basically ALL ship item stats you see in-game (either at the store/exchange/your inventory/ your bank) are currently calculated to display numbers based on the last ship you bought (that you haven't discharged), not the current ship you're using.

    Thankfully it's only a display bug, but it's still annoying. I like seeing accurate numbers on my items (or the ones I'm looking to buy) correctly displayed. This is also the reason why I haven't gone into buying other ships for fun, beyond my main admiral Escort ship. I was hoping to get a Runabout and one of the Cruisers, but doing so will only change the numbers being displayed for my ship items.

    I really wish they'd fix this bug. ^_^;

    Hm, as far as i was aware the same shields on a science ship were stronger than on a escort or cruiser.

    *shrugs* that or a display bug, but it seemed to me that the same drop gave different shield stats to different classes.

    Its not a bug from what I have read. Shields have slightly different states depending on what vessel you equip them to.
