Another note, anyone else having issues with invincible shields as of latest update? just fought a station for over 5 minutes in a super battleship because shield damage wasn't creating flux.only finally killed it when it took shield down for some reason and instantly died...
Invincible shields on stations or just ships?
After testing its not the shields, its like some ships are getting invulnerability. I just spent 15 minutes afk having ship guns autofire 3 frigates as a test. The armor was gone from the mid/back of all 3, and surprisingly 2 had their front armor still. They had no flux build up entire time and I don't think any had commanders (in case it was a commander perk doing it). It MAY have been something related to beam sword hits making them invulnerable (still had Valken EX loaded on battlecarriers) as that is the only similar contributing factor.
That experiment earlier, battle was still ongoing haha, had to use console command to force end combat.
As to your comment on energy weapons, I'll try to play with them in a bit if I remember.
Update;
Not sure if its beam sword, but I can confirm it seems to be the Valken EX breaking the ships and making them invincible. tested with a carrier with wings of those, had same ship kill every target it went up against, but as soon as the Valkens engaged, target wouldn't die. may be all beamsword craft, not sure.
