    So the double Tesla shield is a little too OP imo because TWO super powered shields that’s can come up almost all the time because of cooldown between the two. Pretty sure when the devs gave the enfo 5 yellow slot points they didn’t plan on people using double Tesla shields. I’m sure they wanted to be able for the enfo to be able to have a Tesla shield & a frost launcher if they want but not two Tesla shields. So maybe take one slot point away from enfo & make frost launcher a one slot item? I don’t know, my fix could probably use some work but my overall point I think is sound. This double Tesla shield enfo needs to be addressed

    I don't think it does. Double tesla has been meta for a long time. F2Ps use it, P2W use it. It ain't easy grinding and levelling TWO OP tesshields, let alone one. Leave that, people with two epic t5 tesshields have
    A] Been playing since before global launch when it was easier to get to epic t5 and there was more time for them OR
    B] Have dropped cash on the game.

    The fact remains that rare t5 breaks too easily in NM, and epic t5 is damn near impossible to get. TWO epic t5? Phew.

    So no. Not OP.

    Yes, but those guys had a head start over most of the F2Ps today.

    no need to t5 epic TS unless in 1vs+1 bcuz most of times noone shoot a telsa shield , that what i see ,they just wait till it is gone,i dont i shoot them and then my team like all other players can't handle themself to shoot a stunned/frozen enemy,

    enforcer is the only ship i haven't upgraded to mk5 but if i did i will buy a commom and a uncommom tesla shields ,and believe me i will stay alive for a long time.

    Haha they're pretty annoying all right, I use my bolt to zap em off.
    Slot point nerf isn't the answer though, having a half decent 2 point alternative would be nice.
    At the moment frost launcher is a joke.

    So if the enforcer loses a blue slot, where does it gain one? Red? Blue?

    Slot POINT not slot, so instead of 5 yellow slot points the enfo has at mk6-7, give it 4 slot points

    Ok, so where does it gain back the lost yellow slot point? Red? Blue?
    Your post is just a nerf unless you suggest how you balance out the yellow slot point reduction
    NB: throughout your replies you’ve used capitals on certain words. That is considered shouting on this forum. Please just use lower case.

    Like I said in my original post, the fix could use some more thought. I was just making this post to get the conversation started

    I think you have trouble breaking them. As an enfo player, I have some suggestions. (I give them with regret and fear for my poor mk 5 enfo).

    Flare gun is an amazing/terrible weapon. Multiply the duration by the damage to get the total damage output on a shield--its usually enough to break them.

    Railgun insta-breaks (correct me if wrong) shields. Just don't miss.

    Torpedoes go "under" shields, so... :oops:

    High damage weapons will shatter shields, and critical hits from snipers will do the job too.

    Grenades do high burst damage plus the burn damage, which will break just about any shield

    MOST IMPORTANTLY: You can go inside :eek: the shield and fire, so, when they get close, you can pull out a carronade (or cannon) and fire. If you miss, you hit the shield.


    Now, about your proposal.
    If enfos lose a yellow point, where does it go? Not green (Do you want duct tape on enfos? Exactly.) Not red, unless you want flare+blast+explosive combo. Not blue, because it will kill all enforcers. So... where?

    If i have offended you, Sorry. I have a "little" sarcasm :D

    The extra point goes nowhere because it only makes it so they can use double Tesla shields. That’s why I said make frost launcher one point because the devs I’m sure never wanted double Tesla shields with the 5 points. But like I said they (devs) probably did want an enfo to be able to equip a frost launcher & one Tesla shield.
