    Hello,

    I have begin constructing and subsequently testing a new ship with a large ion beam cannon.
    This Weapon is currently 2500 beam, with 100% beam and ion slave. Whenever I hit a ship with this beam, it takes its shields down but instantly regenerates them as well, resulting in some shield damage, but not nearly as much as their should be.
    For comparison I downloaded a ship with a working smaller ion beam weapon with the same 100% beam and ion slave. This particular ship has 1100 beam, less than half what I have. When this beam hits a ship it takes it down a solid 500k shields. My ship should obviously take shields down farther, but instead I get hit with the instant shield regen as mentioned before. I do not know why this is. Can anyone help me? Was looking forward to working on one of the biggest ships I've worked on to date.
