    Dear tesla shield users, did you know your huge bubble of electricity blocks your own teamates' shots? It's like having a dancing defender in front of your face to block your shots in tight areas. I know sometimes you just want to hold the line, but please bear in mind the slower guys behind you who can't change their position fast enough to get a better shot away from your bubble. This is just a public service announcement, tqvm.

    Another thing is that sometimes when i’m aiming my grenade throug a shield and release it, the circle doesn’t appear, because the shot is blocked. But then as the projectile is about to hit the shield, the enfo moves and the shot lands without any warning:D

    At least you can fire a Railgun through friendly ships (it seems, at least?)

    Wait, no it doesn't. I have lofted blast shots through friendly enfo's shields, and though it *looks* like the shot hit the shield, it hits your target. Same doesn't apply on healbolts tho. I *might* be wrong, but this should be easy enough to test in a custom.

    I've never had a problem with my shots being blocked by others' shields, or me blocking others' shots. I don't know if you have a bug, but my team can always shoot through my shield.

    Thats weird, I find my shots getting blocked by friendly bubbles all the time, even the green reticle circle disappears when blocked.

    Try it when leading, we don't look at the reticle then, do we?

    I don't think it happens... Maybe is not the shield but your friend boat blocking your shot
    Does it happen only with grenades? I use tesla shield but never noticed it

    Leading is always done, but then the shot is released and it hits the bubble. Idk i'll need to test it out with @Help I Cant Swim in a custom.

    Don't know where this long time rumor comes from but I have used railgun for well over a year and half and never noticed this. Railgun projectile has no special powers (except for unlimited range).

    You can shoot anything through friendly Tesla shields, although the projectile will not show.

    I find my shots being blocked by Fixers all the time... trying to use weapons instead of healing.

    You can definitely shoot out of them. In this game, with SavageSeal on my team, I make the final kill from inside his shield:
