Shield turned on automatically after every jump
I'm out there in the void heading to Beagle Point in an aspX. Normally all modules useless in sc are turned off including shield. And now with this new update my shield just turns itself on after every jump which is annoying.

I have heard about that broken module priority thing and I think this one might relate to it.

Dose anyone else has the same problem?

I didn't have module priority problems - everything is as I left it. But the auto-enabling of shields after every jump is pretty annoying. I was turning it off like 10 times, then gave up - flying to the Beagle Point with shields up...

Less heat, less of fuel use per jump (less time to scoop).

It’s a known issue being investigated:

Ya the priority resetting is quite irritating. I actually use it and have built around being able to use it.

Not true but overall fuel consumption is lower without shields.
Fuel use per jump is not affected and it wouldn't even make sense. Next to your fuel gauge there is a little number t fuel per hour. If you turn your shield off, it will go down significantly and your ship will use less fuel per hour.
Your ship is always using fuel even when you've touched down on a planet and turned off your engines. (you want life support online, right?)
