Erlking turret shield

[papy60]

Hello,

Strange result.

By installing a shield to the turrets (L or M) of the Erlking the statistics 'Avg, Group Shield' decrease. Normal or not?

Best regards

See if anything discussed here helps. Remember that group shields includes engine and turret groups so adding weaker shielding to a turret when you have already had strong engine shielding (with no other groups shielded) may well see the group shield average drop.

Average is the average of all in-use banks, so banks with fewer shield generators will lower the average when installed.

In my opinion average bank shield is not that useful of a metric.

Hello Alan and Imperial Good

And thanks for the link and the answers. So it becomes very logical.

In my opinion average bank shield is not that useful of a metric.

I agree with you.

Best regards

Perhaps its only use is as an indicator when you potentially swap one extant shield group with a different shield type in the upgrade screen - then you see the +/- effects on group shield capacity and other shield properties.
