Tranport Shield Mk2 vs Mk3

[Mere_Mortal]

Well assume the guns are Transport Turret Mk3, with maybe at least 6 turrets that's plenty of fire power to bring down even a Cruiser shield.

That's exactly where I'm looking at this from, Mjolnir. A good example would be the Pirate Transport since a) they have a lot of turrets and b) typical haulers shouldn't be shooting each other but opposing Pirts could. This ship definitely loses power when diverted to shields whilst firing, so I'm basically wondering if it's worthwhile using the lesser shield if it means being able to fire all turrets.
