Shield Cell Bank Charges Reduced?

[r0j]

I'm currently re-outfitting my Cobra with shield cell banks and am having trouble finding any with more than 1 charge. I'm sure I previously (few days ago) had something like B2 or C2 banks with 8 charges but now I am only getting 1/1 reported on the modules screen when I buy anything but an A2 shield cell bank, which gives me 4 charges. I have tried all Class 1 and 2 banks types so far.

Anyone else observed this?

How many charges is anyone else seeing?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Hopefully, they were insanely overpowered before.

Thanks.

did you supercruise/hyperjump after buying them? for me they always showed the wrong charge number untill doing that, after buying them.

Ditto - way OP if you ask me, If folks want to fly a glass cannon let'em die in it also.

I think you have to buy ammo for it, every time I buy one it only has 1 charge and the reload screen lights up.

I have an A2 shield cell bank with 4 charges in my Cobra that I got before the update.
It's still the same as far as I know after update.

Gotta buy ammo for it once you purchase it, it comes with only 1 charge in it.

Buy Ammo, DOH!

Thanks for the advice to buy ammo, that was it ofcourse! I was confused by the fact I was repurchasing the A2 shield cell banks that were loaded.

Any idea what grade shield banks are required to fully fill a C4 shield?

If I can get away with the C2 shield cell banks I get 2 extra charges per module vs the A2.

Thanks.

Blushes

Can you also feel my blushes after missing such an obvious thing?

Having said that there is no real reason that these specs shouldn't be shown to the buyer in the outfitting screen, the current opaqueness makes upgrading things largely pot-luck.
