ok, i cold care less about the player wipe thing but about the trains, i say remove the shiels. heck i wold even say remove the shields from all the cap ships. if the NPCs cant have them then why shold we? it wold put in some verry interesting game play and realy spice things up a bit. I have been trying out flying with out shields on some of my large ships like my new LHBS-AARON and it is realy prety fun.
oh and just to clarify why i cold care less about the wipe, i resintly had a personal wipe and its not that bad coming back from it, and befor i new about the server operator i ran a sever and built up a char with this mod from skratch. now this was also back in version 4.78 but its not that hard
