the artifacts you suggested are decent, not game breaking, but not really anything to be sought after. Except the alternative energy source. that would have to be a rare npc drop, on the same level as an RSL Containment Facility, and thats being generous.

as for the modules, i'm a bit unsure why youre so into shields. They all seem very overpowered, especially if youre not very good at pvp. 5 energy for every hit you take. what would prevent me from taking my cloak off, and just getting bonus energy through showing up on the bt? i still dont have a chance against players above rank 650, and those are the players who will primarily be hitting me. I'm unsure how many hits it takes them to kill me, but going off players of my own rank, it takes approx 58 hits to kill me. thats 290 bonus energy per disable if i'm offline. add that with the repulsion field, and i get a bonus 10% energy, so 320 energy per disable.

As for the adaptive shield, it dosnt have any attack with it. so are you saying it doubles your total attack when dealing with hull? because i have players in my legion with over 20k attack. and to double that just seems unfair.

theyre not bad ideas, i like that you were thinking outside of the box with the modules, i just think the values you listed need to be tweaked, and maybe one of these shield options can be used at a time. It could be the 'Shield Frequency' that you set on your ship. that way its not necessarily a module, but an option a player can choose from. That way, if you suck at pvp, put your shield frequency to Energy Absorbtion Shields, where you gain 1 energy per passive battle victory, and 3 for each passive battle loss. If you have a decent ship, but still cant hold up against the top of the battle tab (like me) then go with the Repulsion Rift Frequency. If youre an all around beast, and have more hull than even the top of the battle tab can deal with, then go with the Adaptive shield frequency, where maybe it can act like a chaostatic inhibitor, where your shields never charge, or are automatically drained. 10% of your shields then are added into your attack. Call it overcharging your cannons. Thats the only way i really see that one working. And yes, i realize some players have tens of thousands of shields. but also remember these players have tens of thousands of attack, defense, and hull. so in the long run, its less beneficial to them as they are sacrificing 100% of their shields for a 10% boost to attack.

Also, if shield frequencies were implemented, it should cost 15 to 35 energy to switch frequencies. or, 1% of your total shield if that seems more balanced.

thanks for the info

I mistyped, the adaptive shield was supposed to increase you defense by 50% if your opponent's attack was higher than your defense.
