Jolt Server Question

Ok, you'll all have to forgive me. I have been away from Freelancer for a while and am only just now getting back into it. I'm not a newbie, but I guess you can treat my like one since its been so long.

I have been playing on the Jolt server and I noticed that the enemy ships often regenerate their shields. I seem to recall that enemies could not do that. Is this a mod that has been applied to Jolt or have the enemies always been capable of regenerating their shields. It makes the dogfights much tougher when your opponent keeps getting their shields back. I guess it emulates PvP dogfighting more realistically, except for the fact the AI enemies can pull off a number of maneuvers that real players cannot.

Any input is appreciated.

Jotl uses serverside mods. Enhanched NPC's (Basicly they slapped some nomad guns on BH's, Outcasts and Corsairs) Added a missiles launcher to their loadout. They regenerate their shields coz they use the same shields as the players do.

If you happen to wander into the unknown on jolt you will also find a nomad battleship, a couple of nomad gunboats and, 6-8 regular nomads waiting on you. Personally I do Like all the mods as Freelancer is way too easy and it is nice to have something to get the blood pumping again.
The Boston Freelancer server also has a few of the server side mods and a great RPG community there.

indeed jolt is a very nice server. the server side mods are great. the community is also a great bunch of people. the more challenging AI is better i think. nomad battleships and gunboats are exciting also. make a character on a few good servers cause you can always welcome new friends and new experience.

So let it be written. So let it be done.
