Shields

[Igiss]

Ok, what I really believe is that no restrictions like this work unless they are forced by in-game shield levels. Those who visit this forum will know and may obey those restrictions, those who don't visit will never know.

What I'm intended to do for next version is make Battleship and Cruiser shields level 10, all others level 9, and no more questions. You won't be able to mount cruiser shield on anything less than a cruiser. Battleship shields will be mountable only for battleships and cruisers. However, more level 9 shields may be added that players will be able to buy for gunboats and transports.

As for liner and prison ship, I don't know... I personally think that they are both cruisers, and should be able to mount battleship shields. Not many people fly those ships anyway, and their usage in combat is limited. So a stronger shield might come in handy.

If I'll have good reason, I'll downgrade liners too, but that's... for further discussion.
