Question about the new Shield mod.

[Einar Donarsson]

It looked like noone on the engineers forum could help me so im posting it here.

Im thinking of reengineering my current prismatic but by looking at inara it seems the new modification would be much worse?

My current modification has:

+42,9% optimal strength
+9,3% kinetic res
+18,6% thermal res
+8,4% explosive Res

Inara says the new mod has:

Optimal Strength +38%

All Resistances +17%

Thermal Resistance -9%


So the new Mod looks much worse to me especially since i wanna keep that thermal Res.

does someone have Experience with that by now?

There's a experimental effect that further increases the MJ increase.

But i guess its only like 4%? wich makes it still worse.

I just noticed that the new heavy duty shieldbooster mods are WAYYY worse than the old ones... they barely give 42% (with experimental) but some of my old ones have 63% boost.

Yep, noticed that back in beta as well. Shields also looked much lower as you said in your OP but, frankly, I'm not playing much so I haven't checked this out yet. They were certainly lower in beta just like the boosters.

Ha, im Glad i engineered most of my prismatics before the update. the only one i missed was my class 7 shield.. so no corvettes or Condas in Combat for me
