And resistances went up. Also it wasn't that I'm lazy, I'm just in bed and webedits are now illegal |
You lazy :3 |

Hi. Hello. Direction here. This has probably been a long time coming nerf for the energy shield. The trade off for the reduction in reflect being additional shield HP seems fine enough. A competent operator will get more out of their shield than someone just mindlessly tanking bullets now, which is ideal. Direction approves :3 |

I still feel 50 is too big of a nerf- for a 10tc items that costs more than the weapon you pair with it in most cases, I feel a reduction to the 65-75 area is more reasonable. 95 was ridiculous yes, but cutting it down to nearly half of what it once was makes this item too expensive to be worth it |

Half asleep comments lmao |
You mean, Doing what a shield is supposed to do, block damage. If most the station is using lasers and the item costs 10tc it should be 'mindlessly blocking bullets' because that's what a shield SHOULD be doing having it be more durable isn't really much of a tradeoff |
About the PR
Modified values on the e-shield to make it thougher in health (3x) and resistances, but it reflects only 50% of the time rather than 95%.
Why / Balance
Why? Because Lyndo was too lazy to PR it so I did it for them.
Balance:
With the upcoming devastator RPG replacement + most of the crew weapons being lasers it's kinda a mindless buy to nullify those weapons.
