Make it only work on ships with no shields. So to PCB my goliath, SWA has to deshield me first.

Watch the Serco/Itani coalition -1 this, matey!

Stop being a bedwetter as Dirty would say

It would make sense since shields block both energy and ordinance. I'm not sure this is the right time for this change though given the need for players to have the ability to kill player tridents within reason. I might be willing to +1 this after future changes to the game.

I agree with Death Fluffy, if future changes mean significant increase in players.

(Wash is Dirty confirmed!)

+1...with a caveat that if they don't drain the cell because you have a shield up, then the PCB blaster should act on the shield itself.

Given the nature of shields versus batteries, 600 drain per shot, 10x the regular 60, seems eminently reasonable.

+1 Dr

I like the good Dr's caveat. I'm just not sure how it would impact dealing with npc shields while not breaking that game play.

I was surprised when i got shot with PCBs first long ago when it penetrated the shields. +1 for Dr. Lecter, its how i expected it to work.

+1 to Dr L

+1 dr. Lecter, but why x10?

As much as I like Dr. Lecter's suggestion here, it sort of misses the point. The PCB is the only item that lets you buy time enough to kill a player-controlled capship. Without it, they just run and jump away.
