      Thank you for a detailed post, as you've already mentioned Ftx posted an issue about this topic some time ago, and thus it is on our radar already. I am not sure if it will make it into the upcoming patch or one after that but it will be adjusted. In terms of the changes, the most likely ones will be: Make it a stand-alone upgrade -> You have to choose between a bubble shield and a personal shield, decrease the cost, decrease the HP and increase the shield radius.

          I'm happy to know this upgrade is getting some attention!
          Can't wait to see the rework of it!

                @comradestryker said in The Problem With The UEF - Part 1 (ACU Bubble Shield Upgrade):

                Another factor here is the speed of the ACU and that of the units accompanying it. Every unit is faster than the ACU.

                Scathis would have another opinion about this 😛

                  Scathis finally feels recognized, don't point it out to it!

                    @ComradeStryker I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the numbers involved in the proposed solution of splitting the bubble and shield into separate upgrades. What kind of HP would u think is best from bubble?

                      I would love to see that too! Perhaps replacing the old bubble upgrade with a heavy personal shield upgrade. 🙂

                        Lol. It's not much faster. Only about 0.2 faster, I believe. Haha.

                          Its current iteration has 36K which is really effective - at sitting in the back of your base.

                          Jokes aside - considering it should be used as a front-line upgrade, I'm thinking a bit more than the current personal shield upgrade (19K SHP)- probably around the 25-30K SHP mark. I would say more than the Aeon heavy personal shield which has (25K), but marginally more expensive than both of its upgrades combined.

                          Again, though. It's hard to say without actually seeing how it would work in-game.
