Somewhat related topic, that's confusing me ...

A pirate ship I'm squaring off against has a total of 204,225 power. But he's got 297,000 in shields alone (almost no weapons or manpower).

Weapons    Shield    Armor    Manpower
13890    297000    0            9890

Total power: 204,255 (W+S+A/2+M+50*Cs)

.... that doesn't compute to me. What am I missing ... are there parentheses missing from the equation, or ... ?

Oh ... sucker has Improved Shields Mark X. That's gotta be it, right? [Edit: that's definitely it. 297,000 reduced by a factor of 1.65 = 180,000, which makes the math work. But STILL] ... why doesn't that improve power rating?? lol

Be happy it doesn't, because that'd increase the timer!

Math looks right to me. Make sure you bring plenty of extra weapons because sometimes their shields are on roids.

Does anyone know if shields regenerate between waves? The first wave is viper/laser and the second is boarding.
