Component Upgrades

I put in a shield on the Cutty that comes up as "Right Side". It only gave me a rating of 75 on my shields, but showed the coverage as non-existent on the Support Screen.

Think the Cutty as some other have more than one shield unit hard point, so you need to swap all and it seem it need to be the same on all hard points or it bugs out LMAO

or it bugs out

Luckily you can fix a bugged out ship, just claim it and it will come back with stock loadout. If it takes too long, your solution to speed up works fine.

Not sure what is going on with the Cutty, it shows one shield hardpoint and it is Right Side, once I swapped out for components, my shields do not seem to come back up, swapping back to the original shield component has not resolved it, neither has exiting out and returning to game. Odd.

I bought a stealth power plant for my Cutlass and crashed 5 minutes later.
With no insurance, and unless you're a good pilot (in which case, why are you in TEST?), I don't think components make much of a difference right now.

I think to get the most from a stealth component, you need more than one. Reducing your EM and IR is only useful if you can reduce your RCS too, and the Cutty likely has a big RCS.

There are no stealth armor options available yet? No "Void Armor"?

Also note if you reduce the size of your powerplant sufficient for it to go stealth, I think you will want to remove all energy weapons so you don't run out of power. Need to go ballistics for stealth, or so it seems.

No stealth armor as of yet.

I think you are on the nose though with the stealth options. Most of the stealth PP's are of lower output by necessity, this means that you cannot run the heavier coolers needed for prolonged energy weapons, or heavier shields for that matter.

I am going to check, but I THINK there might be an actual stealth PP at Levski, it is not at GH. We are talking for size 2's. I did note there were Size 1 stealth PP's at GH though.

The hunt continues, though at a slower pace than normal, buddy of mine gave me a bottle of excellent Kentucky Sippin' Whiskey.

EDIT: Okay, could not find any size 2 Stealth PP's, though there are size 1's. Ah well.
