Why the MCs don't have shield hardpoint?

[Cain]

Is this a design error? Especially when it affects the ballance.

Mon cals had lots of shield progtors all over the ship

[Foshjedi2004]

As MJ said Mon calamari Ships were unique in their design.  The eliminated one of the Star Destroyer weakpoints by haveing Shield generators around the ship instead of having the generators close to the Bridge section of the battleships.

Heh, well if you want to get technical, the Star Destroyers did not have shield generators that were centralized either.  They had a bunch of area shield generators that all overlapped.  The mon cal also had this, but they had redundant shield generators.

 

Anyone remember that the hardpoints were going to have their own shield and health?  I wonder how long ago that was nixed?

[Little.B]

They have in the final version

I think. I will go after it.

Home One had a shield hp in the Demo.

[Little.B]

Okay I looked it up. Home One has, Mon Cals have not.

But in the end shields go down very easily when fighting SDs. But thats my personal feeling. Don't know about the number of hitpoints the shields have.

Well, if you remember, in the demo at least, the republic ship (the one form EP.2 i forget the name) has not shield generator, you just have to keep pounding away at it to keep it's shields down and then destroy it.

I was also confused as to why the mon cal didn't have a shield generator and by the time i realised it didn't actually have one my bombers died :bleh:.
