Ok amd I the only one here who sees that ICC should have a special depo/supplyship/reload drones that recharge shields too? or some energy transfer device to help with shields? (kinda having second thoughts about that part from people abusind the energy device for better firepower)

this will never happen, its been asked several times over the six years i been part of this game. icc have defence mode, which helps recharge your shields faster.

Your shields recharge faster in defence mode than armour getting repaired.

It's not really necessary now with the depot balancing.

if u are having issues recharging shields faster, u simply are not doing it correctly. Either your shield loadout, usage, or understanding is off. I would be happy to help if u send me a message in game.
as stated, shields are faster than armor, and depot changes will balance out the issue. Soon u will have shields back faster than any uggy ship can rep up.

If only the devs made giant power sockets on all the planets. Then equipped IQQ ships with giant plugs on their ass ends. That'd be cute, wouldn't it? Battery powered ships with a trailing cable and plug.

why is it that icc players keep asking for a special depot that recharges shields even AFTER the depots are getting nerfed in beta section.
guess some mothers do have them.

Nope, ICC does not need any special hand outs, at least right now. In the comming update ICC will once again have the best defense in the game. As stated earlier, in defense mode your shields make armor seem like it doesn't exist.

Not hardly, ablative/reflective will still be better overall defense vs. the appropriate weapon types, but shields will recharge faster than armor does on it's own without drones.

In the coming patch Reactive shields get a boost to resistances, making them the best defense around. Even still, the recharge speed now still makes them the better defensive choice

(directed at chance)

A sheet of paper with good resistances is still a sheet of paper. The HP on reactives seems to be around half of actives, which is 90% of armor HP according to devs. It makes reactives a far better choice for Destroyers/Frigates/Scouts and makes them actually viable for most Cruisers, but for ships that are going to be taking a lot of fire they don't work so good unless you're loaded with defense enhancements.
Not to say the change wasn't good, it was, and will make smaller ICC ships much more capable, it's just not the be all-end all of defensive systems.
