A question about Shields

[alance]

the idea is that freighters are for newer players.

You unreasonably limit the class with that sort of eyes-shut approach to an entire class.

people who mount Transport Shields are taking advantage of a serious difficulty in programming, ie: there is only one type of shield above the VHF shield: Freighter. so, everything from the rhino to the juggernaught has the same type of shield, an they are all squeezed into 10 classes.
its an exploit.

Exploit my ***.

Show me a Rhino with a transport shield equipped. The Rhino can mount a level 1, 2 or 3 Freighter Shield, not a level 7 (transport) shield. Prove me wrong.

There are LF shields. There are HF shields. There are Freighter Shields. The first two are easy to understand. The last one was split up so cap ships and traders could have bigger shields. Freighter shields level 1-6 are weak sauce, Freighter shield class 7 is the Transport shield, class 8 is gunboat, 9 is cruiser, 10 is BS.

If the Turanic and the Camara weren't meant to have Transport shields (level 7 freighter shields), then they would be restricted to level 6 freighter shields, don't you think?
