✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 584 endorsements and over 16k downloads
- Addresses a real annoyance: shields never regen after a tiny hit, and this mod fixes that
- Gives Mk1 weapons a purpose, so you're not just grinding for Mk2s
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with X4 v2.0+, so you're stuck on an old version if you want this
- Abandoned since 2018, with the author explicitly saying they won't update it
- May conflict with other combat mods that tweak the same shield and weapon stats
For X4 players on pre-2.0 versions who want a more forgiving shield system and more weapon variety. If you're on the latest version, skip this and check the author's recommended replacement mod instead.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your game is on a version before 2.0, or this mod won't work at all
- Since shields regen constantly, you can play more aggressively without worrying about long regen delays
- Try different race shields to see which regen and capacity balance fits your flying style
