Ah thanks, had a feeling it was full power to the guns but thanks for clarifying! Might be an idea to clarify that one in the tooltip for the shield if you can...

Thanks! Yeah I have a feeling I read it briefly when I was alt+tab one session but that tends to be skim reading at best so it would be great to check, odd how I can't find it now though.

Ah tech 3 science,  couple of engineers, shield bearers (if you start with them) + leeches make for plenty of shiny new toys

Also an additional question for when it comes to science raiding (the mk 3 science lab on an AI world)

Does the number of ships that you are fighting at any given time scale up with how many MK3 labs you have on the AI planet? I am just wondering if I am better off only using 1 or 2 labs and passing them about the team or building 6 - 8 in one go and only holding that off for a much shorter period of time... Sorry it's an inquisitive day!

Hello, racked up a good 50 hours of AI war with a few friends the last month since we started playing but one thing has never seemed to be clear - riot ships have hard shields (the type that push enemies back) but does that mean that they also do the damage reduction to your units firing from the inside? Done a good bit of googling but there doesn't seem to be a straight answer
