Does anyone know about the ineffective shields issue? I've been playing this game a lot for years now, but there are a couple of weird/frustrating things going on. I usually get me a Panther which I load up with shields to the point where it should survive a head2head with a mid-sized rocky planet. Problem is that a 1 MW pulse shreds this ship to pieces in a very short amount of time. 2nd: I've been looking at the other Frontier and I once read that you could contact traffic control for some air traffic info. Not so in any of my copies. And last: Any good suggestions on how to survive battle without a turret? Slap me and call me Jill, but I haven't figured out how to out-manouver any ship. They keep out-manouvering me, hence the Panther, although I would rather like to have an Imp Trader or a (cooler still) a Tiger.
PS: I'm currently looking for a Syndicate thread, I've just begun but if you know of any, please let me know.

1. no. i think you forgot the power boost or something. with panther clipper loaded with shields the would usually die when they splat over your rear "windshield"
there are a couple of strange things. there is a planet that has a base setu somehow iunder the surface. so instead of landing at the base you always crash at the surface.
2. what do you mean? traffic control is when you call the base you mean to land to.
3. battle is very difficult. after flying a long time and having tried other manouvers (like slingshot or landing or flying at low alttude) battle became much easier. in fact i was surprised how easy it was.
