If shield cells are nerfed then buff the shields.

Seriously otherwise fights will last like 1 minute with players, with who can do most damage at first. Big ships don't have maneuverability like fighter ships do and they rely on shields.

I think the best way to change shield cells is to make another part of the shield, the shield cells should "overcharge" the shield and shouldn't be as strong. There should be only be a specific amount of shield cells (around 5) that can be deployed, and they should have a recharge bar that fills faster based on power to systems.

Lastly shields should get a slight buff so that shield cells aren't completely mandatory for ships, just a slight advantage. This should also fix the utter and complete destruction of npc shields in a few hits problem.

I've got a Shield Cell module that holds 9 charges, for my Cobra. I did have 9+5 but it sucked up too much power. Those things come in real handy against.. Well.. Everything and anything. They're great.

I've recently taken to pirating, so.. You need to hang around a little longer than usual for all of the goodies to pop out . Usually whilst under some fire.. They work just fine!

This isn't WoW... We don't do 'Buffs' in ED...

The only Buffy-like thing we allow here is Sarah Michelle Gellar and then only when there's nothing else to say!

So you ok with pvp battles lasting like a minute or 2? I don't find that to be fun.
