Sometimes when in combat with pirates (not turrets) ships my ships hull takes damage even though my shields are still up. Most of the time they never even drop past half yet im still taking damage do they negate some percentege of damage or is this indeed a bug?
Shields not working

This happened to me a lot back when i piloted a small frigate. it also happened a few times in my brand new battleship i\'ve only seen the Shields down! alert like 3 times ever. and yet i\'ve had to fix my ship\'s hull all the time.it hasn\'t happened to me recently so not sure what\'s different.
I also get this problem; I don\'t have any turrets on my ship, and this ONLY happens when I fight pirate ships, not pirate turrets.
I\'ve noticed you will take somedamage through your shields if they\'re nearly depleted (As in the shieldhit effect shows up red)...but yeah this happens even when my shields are filled.

I just tested it on my station in progress. The shields were still blue but blocks were disappearing. There aren\'t any turrets on it.

From my experience it is just missles that get through when shields are still up. I have talked about it in chat a few times and they all said that it is suposed to hapen, something along the lines of damage to your ship = Damage dealt - Sheilds charge (i think) - Shields power - Armour. I forgot the major details, but that is close enough. someone will probably correct me, but you get the idea.
So i just realized something my battleship didn\'t always have turrets on it, i haven\'t seen this bug SINCE i put turrets on my battleship. so im not sure whats up with that.

It did happen to me a few times as well. Sometimes I even considered it a feature as I believed that area-of-effect missiles should not be stopped completely just with shields and blastwave should go a bit further than that. But yes, it\'s apparently a bug.
Yeah its happening with and out without turrets idk about missles, Its always against pirates that I have the problem but only from the ships. I can attest that no pirate turret has ever done this to me but those ships seem to ignore my 1200 shield regen and punch right on through luckly I run a heavy armord ship so its mostly the first layer that gets scraped off. Which is funny because I have a buddy on the same server who flys a ship with no hull and exclusivly shields he never has this issue... I have to say I am quite envious.

It\'s because your shield generators are not getting enough power. It says that they\'re regenerating at a certain rate but that\'s if and only if you have the power to sustain it. Otherwise it regenerates at a fraction of the displayed rate.

This has not hapened to me since the last update, so it was probably fixed!
Also Comrade, if shields didn\'t drop below half then that is not the problem.

What? There is no redundency ability, all that would do would force me to split my weapons between multiple keys and only fire a few at a time... Why not just fix the bug, or make it a feature that works for players as well as the pirates.
