    So I've not played Starmade in I'd say a year and a few months, so I updated everything today and imported some old ship blueprints. One of them notably one that's still under construction, about 30% actually. It's got 588k blocks so far, with 74 million power and 1.6 million energy per second. But the shields are where the problems are.

    Shield max is 4.8 million. But whether i'm under fire, or not It always says I have 5 shield per second. I heard there was a shield change, but still, such little recharge rate no matter what level my shields are at is ridiculous. Also apparently bumping into stuff just completely destroys all my shields.

    Capacity and regen have been split into their own blocks, You need to add regen blocks to old ships in order to get functioning shields again.

    Well, that's gonna be a real pain in the butt considering the size of the dang thing.
    Edit: Can't find it from google, but would you mind telling me the name and ID of the new Shield Regen block?

    And why did they change shield-capacity again. It doesn't scale linear anymore, I hate that. I do much rather have a timer on shield-regen again and keep the shield-regen blocks but I prefer to have high shield capacities, so people can get some good shielding, that can actually be worn down.

    Not necessarily since you can now selectively remove only one type of block if you want. I would recommend that you check out Mushroom Fleets video on the update, it'll help a lot.

    I added the block ID of shield recharger to the starmade wiki, but dunno how to add it to the table. so if you guys fail to find it, it's now there at least :) i had the same problem so i said "screw it" and popped it up at least so it's known.

    What change? Each block adds a set amount, its still possible to have some crazy capacity.

    That is not "the" Starmade wiki, this: http://starmadepedia.net/wiki/ID_list is the Starmade wiki.
