@Igiss: The capship shield-busters are exactly like the fighter ones, they well brilliantly against positron shields and are weakest against graviton, therefore peopel aren'y gonna switch to positron shields even if it would help against NPC or because it's part of their RP.
Plus a pirate player who is hated by all the houses would have to change shield everytime they switched from attacking one house to another.
Reason:
Kusari mk2 VHFs use neutrons weapons, which are great against molecular shields, as well as laser weapons which are great against positron shields.
Rhienland uses both plasma and tachyon weapons, so a graviton shield will be dropped fast be the plasma guns, and a molecular shield would be dropped fast because of the tachyon guns.
Britonia uses particle weapons that eat thru graviton shield like their not even there. They also use neutron weapons.
Liberty uses laser and plasma weapons, so you might be ok with a molecular shield, then again with the amount of damage the mk 2 VHFs put out with 7 laser cannons sticking with a graviton shield might be the difference between getting vaped and be able to beat them.
All the houses have been set-up so that they use two different types of weapons that usually work better on shields that absorb the damage of the other type of weapon.
eg:
Britonian ships use both particle and neutron weapons, particle weapons don't work well against positron shields, but the neutron weapons do work on positron shields.
Rhienland, plasma weapons don't work well against molecular shields, tachyon weapons do work well on molecular shields.
So however you set up our shield they'll always be at least two or three factions with weapons that are designed to go through it like a hot knife through butter.
It would be nice to see people using shields that their faction alignment means they should, like corsair and outcast players with positron shields on all their corsair and outcast characters.
All the SF using positron shields as thats what the britonians sell. All RM using molecular as thats the type of shield rheinland bases sell.
However, as long as the graviton shields have more energy then they will be used, RP server or otherwise.
As for the tizona del cid turret, I can't see how you can mount a class 7 turret onto a class 8 mount.
Cruisers, destroyers and BS's won't except any turrets that aren't the right class, in this case classes 9 and 10.
If gunboats are excepting class 7 turrets onto class 8 mounts then it's a bug and should have been reported.
Otherwise what was the point of igiss spending his time reclassifying them all?
