    I'm trying to remember, but don't the ships give a "scaling factor" on shields? I thought that was how they gave the shield boost to sci ships anyways.

    Are you sure you didnt have the tooltip bug pre-patch where the shield array tooltip showed a different number than is REALLY present, which you can always see in the ship info chart by clicking the Defense tab or whatever it's called?

    Yes it was the tool tip bug. The tool tip was showing the value of the last ship you purchased, your shields have always been that value.

    How about doing some side by side comparisons based on class and ship type?

    I'm a federation tac/cruiser captain, and I use the exact same triple capacity shields and they have right at 8491 capacity.

    Covariant CapX3 is 11k for science ships, around 8-9k for cruisers and 7k for escorts give or take a few hundred.
