Title: Using Mvam- ship loses shields
Post by: WileyCoyote on December 23, 2011, 12:27:34 AM

I am testing out my new Enterprise-D and using Mvam. Every time (in green and red alert) both ships lose their shields after they separate, and when they connect. DJ has also given me permission to use his hardpoints.

I also understand that Jb06 also had a similar issue when he was working on his CGI Voyager pack.

Thanks for your help.

I think this might be a known error...not sure if there is a fix :S.  I get that a lot or at least my shields drop when I reattach.

Very strange, mvam works now. The shields on both ships are up when they are separated and reconnected.

I have the same problem on all my ships when using MVAM. For some reason it always goes to Red Alert when you execute them.

Yes, known MVAM bug:
MVAM only can set shield values when they are up, so mvam sets this mode.

Unfortunately this is too late - there is a slight delay between going to red alert and activating shields, thats why shields are detected as zero.

I have pushed a fix for that to KM repository last month, but its not released yet:

Just wanted to let folks know Defiant's new script (above) fixed that issue for me.
