Tek shield is so weak.10 mins to destroy.
This needs looking at.
one person with 30 element and 2 tek rifles can bring a tek shield down in 10 mins or less.I have tested this twice now and results are the same.
Now i wasnt get shot at by any base defences as they are obsolete in this test.
Reason being,if the person has tek then they have the ability to fly in the air and shoot down and thus be out of range of any base defences.
So even if they have hundreds of turrents - the shield will still be down in 10 mins,even less time if more players are involved.

250,000 Hp sounds a lot but it isnt.I was under the impression that Tek was going to be end game stuff.At this rate its not worth having simply because of how weak it it.
The whole concept of Tek is awesome - it just needs beefing up as all that hard work can be destroyed in minutes.

Test was done on a vanilla server.

Yes but those people have to get element/rifle/replicator in the server first. There's needs to be a weakness to tek after all. It's just going to be alpha v alpha so I think its balanced. No one can transfer either

It's obviously an unofficial server and admins allow everyone a fair chance. Official and Unofficial have totally different play styles for PvP. Just give the unofficial guys some command lines and carry on.
vanilla server - and regardless of what server - its still weak.
And yes Swirl you are correct - they do need to get Tek etc in the first place.
Well the good news is,Gettign tek is easier than actually keeping it.
Dont understand what i mean - well go get it and then tell me how long it lasts.
Yes there needs to be a weakness - but should that weakness be 10 mins at the hands of 1 person or 2 and half minutes at the hands of 4 ?

Its way to weak and as i said above - it needs looking at.
