Base shield won't charge
As the title says I can't seem to get my shield on my base to come on. I got the power and pentaxid to charge it but when I turn it on power jumps to 24% and the 0 for shield blinks then turns red and just stays there. Am I doing something wrong?

the first time you charge a shield, it takes a long time
it will flash red then flash with 10%, then 20 etc for several minutes
after that first charge it will not take very long to just power up
did you wait long enough?

I turned it on and waited about 5 mins and saw nothing happening. Thought it was CPU cause I was at 350k out of 200k so put in 2 3t cpu to make it 500k cpu. still nothing.

base power and shields are turned on in P menu? and you have regular fuel and generators?

yes to all the above. I got 8k fuel with 2 large gens. and 14% fuel for the shield

It looks like you are doing it right. About 24% power from two large generators looks correct for the initial charge, and 14% in the pentaxid tank is enough and should leave you 9% after charging. Have you tried restarting the game? I have had problems in the past where the game didn't recognize the new CPU limits right away.

you may even try picking up and resetting the shield gen? idk, i have seen bugs with constructors that fixed but ...

This is what my CP looks like when I try. I should of noted I was doing Multiplayer and did restart the server when you said restart and trying it in SP now.

Just picked the tank and shield back up and replaced and upgraded and still give me a red 0 after blinking. Going to give it 5-10 more mins and see what happens

Could it because my base was an enemy POI that I took over and made my base?

I've not tried to add a shield to a POI, so I don't know.

I noticed you're using a T2 shield, so that changes some numbers. 14% pentaxid should still be enough, but you'll end up with only 4% remaining. Also, the power draw should be around 50% during the initial charge. T2 shields pull 50KPu and your 2 generators only put out 100KPu, so, should be 50%. I don't know why you only see 24%.

It was 24% for the T1 but thought that maybe I needed a T2 so upgraded it to see and I am seeing around 48% draw when I start it. Still don't get the shield though. :/
