Don't fight other ships unless you want to be evil

[Chow Yun Fat]

Sorry can't resist going in.
I also destroyed MarkG's ship with some shields. I guess we do not read enough documentation.
My guess is that shield requires fuel or ore. I don't know why travelling does not require fuel.
Any one interested in an alliance against Apolyton (in this Tradewar game of course)?

[Urban Ranger]

I don't think shields require Fuel Ore. AFAIK only the Transwarp Drive needs fuel. Other items are powered by the ship or are self-contained.

When you attack an enemy ship, if it has shields, the combat display will tell you it is protected by "strong electromagnetic field" or something similar.

I guess the key here is "IN FEDERATION SPACE" ... Since mark just "raped" me in uncharted space. For no reason and I was also "good alligned" I might add.

Fellow players beware, Mark was one of the first to state "if you have more that 100 fighters, you will be towed out of Fed space." This maybe true, but don't trust him. I had a Constallation Class ship with 30 shields and 100 fighters. Mark destroyed it while I was off line and left me with 25 credits and an escape pod. My fellow member of my young corportation (CIVCORP) was also raped by Mark. But this time he CAPTURED Rhinephalz's Constallation ship (30 shields/100 fighters) and left him floating in space with just 25 credits and an escape pod.

So fellow players, you've been warned.

[MarkG]

strange, it seemed like you both had 0 shields

[Wittlich]

This is a BIG negative. When I signed into Trade Wars today, I got the message of your attack on me, including the number of fighters and shields you destroyed.

[MarkG]

strange... perhaps me and marko polo dont know as much as we think...
we were certain that you had 0 shields
