Meaning they're really only useful if you're planning on having to use them only once between dockings. Yes the prismatics give more shields, but they also take forever to recharge. On all other ships, I've played with different shield choices and decided a different shield works better. 2 Imperial Cutters and a Python I use for hauling cargo. And I have prismatic shields on a grand total of 3 of my two dozen ships. I have a much better understanding of how shield engineering works now. So really the only impediment to getting more prismatics is having to deliver 750 tons of pamphlets again.Īlso, I did it when I was relatively new to engineering. You don't have to do anything for 4 weeks to pass.

If you're like most players, locking up hundreds of millions of Cr (if not over a billion) in prismatic shields you may or may not use, is a much greater burden than having to wait 4 weeks to buy them again. But having done it, I'll contradict that advice. Post/comment not appearing? It may have entered our AutoModerator's event horizon.
