the best class 9 shield

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

the best class 9 shield

I have a character in a hammerhead, more for the novelty than anything else. Anyways, I want to find the best level 9 shield for it I can (the hammerhead can only have up to a level 9 shield). I currently have whatever level 9 that the Corsairs sell, and it can sustain 6050 damage. However, when fighting the GMG in Omicron Beta, I scanned them and found that their shield could sustain 7500 damage, or something close to that. Does anyone know where I could find this tougher level 9 shield?

personally i find the best shield for a hammer is the class 8 one that comes on the titan (only way to get it) if its for online play
the best class 9 is the one from freeport 9 i find
though a lot does depend on the weps the people you are fighting use

The NPCs have a special set of shields that are stronger than the ones you can buy - but also notice that their regen rate is 1. So you don't really want to buy that shield, even if it were possible

Thanks for the replies, it makes a lot more sense to me now.

Champion heavy fighter is class nine with 8,064 points. It's gravatron based, and is the best level 9 for a heavy fighter, or so says the official guide. --- VH16

Whoever came up with "Mission Commision" should be lined up and shot

i would say the best shield in the unmodded game is the class 8 graviton shield for the hammerhead.

you will get the shield with the titan, so it is costly but you will have 1 off the powerfulliest shields in the game
