NOOPER: It only has 25,000 sheild strength, is this a mistake because if its not this would make this ship really weak. the asteria has 53,333 sheild strength and cost 35,000,000 less, my captured carrier has 40,000 sheld strength, love the new carrier though it has 60,000 sheld strength I am going to have lots of fun with this ship. Thanks for thr DLC and the update.
Here's what our ship-balancing guru had to say:
- Helios is the only dreadnought with 2 fighter wings
- Along with the Ragnarok, it has the largest battery energy recharge
- It has the largest Damage reduction of all dreads
- It has the highest maneuverability of all dreads
- It's weakness is shield
And to add to it, he "didn't want to make all existing dreads pointless when the Helios enters the play".
So, to answer: nope, the Helios' shield is not a bug, it is the actual value. Of course, everything can be balanced further and we're eagerly listening to player feedback :).
