Where could you get the best shield?
I'm running out of things to do in Freelancer other than multiplayer, having finished the single player game, levelled up to 38, and visited all the systems and bases listed in Lancers Reactor's Universe Guide - short of the Red Hessian bases and the single LWB base. The Hessians are the only faction hostile to me, yet the LWB base turns hostile to me even though they themselves are neutral.. Ah, must be because LWB is allied to the stupid Hessians. Same when I couldn't land on Lane Hacker bases until I got the Rogues back to neutral.
Anyway, back to the subject.
The one thing I'm not quite happy with is my ship's shield, particularly because I've seen other ships flying around with better equipment.
So, how do you get them, or are they reserved for the computer flown ships?
The ones I've seen with a ship scan:

Seen on a Corsair Titan:

In contrast, the best I could buy for myself is the "Adv. Brigandine H.F. Shield (Class 10)" - oddly enough, the same name as the first one listed above, but with rather different stats:
That over 10 thousand shield capacity sure sounds better, although I'm not sure a regeneration rate of 1 would be useful.
My ship is a Titan (Corsair Very Heavy Fighter). By the way, why is it that most people here on this forum seems to prefer the Sabre instead? The Sabre looked somewhat cheaper and worse on the info sheet, that's why I purchased the Titan instead.
