If you dont want a BS shield stuck on it, why dont u just put the shield mount down to class 9? Also if you are gonna do that, can u plz make the handling a tad better, but not much because TBH, the gunboat shield cant cope with the pounding it recieves because it cant avoid incoming fire. It's a bullet magnet!
EDIT: also can it have a cruiser shield on it still? ;)

There is a reason that there are three differen types of capital ship shields. BS, cruiser, and gunboat shields. Each for its own ship. Gunboats are weak because they are used for escorting cruisers and battleships. The enemy must focus on the battleship/cruiser while the gunboat flys around and pummels the BS at the same time. It is nothing more than a support ship and should not be strong enough to be anything better than be a support ship.
