Laziness: The reason why SS still has more bugs than WoW has players.

its impossible to prove by us, because we cant compare the charging value in our clients with the true server value

Lets not turn this into a flame war, I want this problem to be solved. Proof was asked for and I intend to supply it.

If your shield regeneration/second exceeds the maximum possible damage/second of your opponent, then mathematically it is impossible for that enemy to reduce your shields to 0 as long as you have a reasonable shield reserve buffer to absorb spikes.

Edit- After some more testing I've come to several conclusions:

1. The bug may not have much or anything to do with inventory changes, but rather to changes in energy.

2. The bug occurs reliably when I have a shield charger that uses a significant amount of energy.

My previous thinking that changes in inventory were the cause was probably a side effect of the pest control, scoop, and tweaks taking small amounts of energy when activated.

THE PROOF:
My ship has combined shield regeneration of 423/sec. The shield (oversized misdirection) provides 285/sec, the charger 137/sec (after aug, class, etc. modifiers).
If I equip the charger and engage 2 basils my shield regen is 137/sec and remains that way until I die.
If I do no equip the charger and engage the same 2 basils my shield regen is 285/sec and I don't die.
A demonstration of this can be arranged, if necessary for proof.

Healing per second has to do with you healing someone else.

Same as damage per second has to do with killing someone/thing else.

Best to keep words correct to not confuzzle Jeff Bobbo.

i have noticed that with fires Any -elec regen makes charger cut out, usually it cuts out when you reach 0 bank perhaps fires messing up elec regen somehow?
