Megatron Z4 Shields are indestructible

[rustyj]

[Latest experimental.] Edit... public game, not experimental.

Two fleets of battleships (58M strength) cannot take down single troop carrier with 1700 strength. Component lists shows the troop transport's Megatron Z4 shields are normal, yet there is no blue shield circle on the ship's main UI, also it's shields and armor are 0. Troop Carriers under attack do suffer some damage - all to the same level, but no further.

Attached file shows fleets 100th Defense and 100thA Defense engaging troop carriers, to no effect. Note, my fleets are equipped with Phaser Cannons for shield bypass and Titan Blaster, both buffed x16. My fleets should just breathe heavily on the carrier to obliterate it.

Not sure, but this problem with invulnerable ships may have been addressed in the latest beta update?

You have not looked at the problem thoroughly
Loaded the save and popped them troop carriers in no time
Your problem is that 2 or 3 of these troop carriers were flying on a different height level way above your fleet and your ships have no weapons with enough range to reach them nor do they ascend on their own to get closer.
This is the real thing to look at by the devs

If you select fleet and rightclick on these high altitude troop carrier, then order "move to..:" they start climbing and getting closer (although not all of them) and then they get in range and its over
Althoug DW2 is not 3 dimensional its not flat either, there is some "heightlevel" to space.

In this screen we can see diff height and that weapons fire from ships does not reach the troop carrier due to lack of range

What version of the game are you seeing this on?

Just noticed this post. Not sure of the 3-D issue you are referring to. Most likely you are using a later version of the game where the matter was resolved.

As I noted in the original post, there were irregularities in the shield info on different UIs which seemed to indicate a different issue. The devs referred to a fix to shield damage issues (infinite repair?) in an update shortly after I posted.

Also you seem to suggest my fleet could not reach the troop carriers to cause damage, yet this was not the case. The fleet did cause considerable damage to each tc but could not 'destroy' them.
