Void Crew shields look tricky at first. This brief tutorial on the shields explains how to set up your shields to get basic protection all around. / captnbarbosa
I would only risk it if you had a battery and you knew you weren’t going to get hit for a few moments. It’s straight vulnerable armor damage if not times right.
Sometimes shield generator shuts down and shows on screen "malfunction" word. It cannot be turn on in that situation. What is the reason for this and how to remedy it?
It's an anomaly specific to the Bravery system. It renders shields inoperative while you're in that region, and there is no way to "fix" it since it's an environmental effect. Just like you can't "fix" burning pulses or ice storms. Best thing to do is don't rely on shields during missions in Bravery; use point defense instead to intercept incoming missiles.
@@tm6412 It isn't. The shields above and below are formulated with the sides of the shift. For instance, if you strengthen the shields on the port side of the ship, you will get portside, top and bottom shields as well. It's like a bubble or a circle.
It would have been interesting if you switched both shield generators to protect the front to see if it will be shown as a double line on the display.
We can do that. The line does get thicker
@@CaptnBarbosa Thanks. That's what I was curious about. Two lines would be nicer visually I think
Let’s put it in their feedback. Each line could represent a certain amount of health
So what you're saying is don't re-route shields during a battle?

I asked the commanding Engineer if he knows about this. We never had a malfunction because he is too good.
@@CaptnBarbosa Understand:) So I have a puzzle to solve.

You definitely can’t get full coverage from one shield generator?
Correct. You’ll need at least two to get full coverage around the ship. Unless they create an upgrade in the future, you’ll need two
What about the top and bottom of the ship?
It’s only a two dimensional representation with bow, port and starboard, and stern. You don’t have to worry about upper and lower decks
@@CaptnBarbosa So the ship is invulnerable from above and below? I suppose that could be exploited tactically?
