Shield Bug? Someone Please Advise!

I have a (purple) very rare Covariant shield that I obtained from saving up 52 marks of exploration in the Gamma Orionis Battle group Omega section. It's maximum shield capacity is: 10,189 , with a 10% bleedthrough and 144 shield regeneration every 6 seconds.

I have noticed that it's value for maximum capacity, the last few days was 7,838 maximum shield capacity.

I scanned my ship to make sure that I didn't have a ship injury.
No injury.

I submitted a ticked and got back a response that they didn't understand what I was trying to explain to them.
So I submitted another ticket.

I noticed that when the value of my maximum shield capacity was at 7,838, you could no longer obtain a covariant shield at the 10,189 capacity point value at the Gamma Orionis battle group anymore. The highest was 7,838 maximum shield capacity.
So, then I though that my particular shield had been "nerfed" to a lower capacity.


TODAY..... My shields are back up at the 10,189 maximum shield capacity point value again.

So either, I'm loosing my mind.........which is entirely possible, or this is a bug, orrrrrrrrr....I dunno.

I scanned the Forums and no one has mentioned this. But if I missed it somewhere, please advise me.

If I'm NOT MAKING MYSELF CLEAR, please advise me too.

I just want an answer as to what the duece is going on.

Have anyone else noticed this? Or am I wiggin out?

    You have encountered the display bug that has been in the game since day 1. Shield capacities are based ship type. The last ship you purchased determines the value you see.

    These issues are common on paid beta games. Get a thicker skin, and ignore 'numbers' and focus on the color ; purple = best.

    Gameplay experience may change.

    Thank you -

    It's always nice to have one's question answered.

    Thicker skin isn't necessary. But thanks for the suggestion........
