Firstly I'd like to say the Vanguard is amazing. I love the redundancy. I am curious, how will the 2xs2 shields work?asked by Nikolai Armitage
Well generally what happens is we'll have 2 shield nodes and so each node covers a portion, say half a ship, so if one goes down you don't lose the other. So on bigger capital ships you actually get more stronger and focussed coverage with multiple nodes. It's so you don't have a single point of failure for your shield coverage. That's kinda the concept that we're working on for it at the moment.
