A question about Shields

[alance]

The Turanic is large and turns like a train, the thing needs a fat shield or it is useless. I tried to use it as a pirate vessel for a while, it was fun, but a container transport with best guns will hit you and knock your shield down about as fast as you can take his shield down. If the Turanic were as nimble as the Kushan then I could see feeling gulty using a transport shield on it. But, fact is, the Kushan can't mount one so, The Force is in balance...

I agree that the 70,000 point transport shields are too big though, no matter if they're on a freighter or a transport. Those shields are why you don't see anyone pirating in less than a gunboat. Drop them to 50k for starters.
