Capital Ship Shield Mitagation Cap

  I have noticed latetly that shield cap on the Vasari seems to be the lowest as Tec can reach 74% while Advent ofcourse will reach 79% the Vasari seems to cap out at 69%.  I was wondering if this was intentional or is this a bug?

I would chalk it up to intentional, to emphasize the various technological focus of the 3 races. The Vasari rely mostly on armor/hp and firepower, so their shields are the weakest. The TEC is somewhere in the middle with about an equal focus on shields and armor, and Advent have generally poor armor but strongest shields.

well the other problem is vasari Mitagation does not rise like the other factions.  Infact,  a radiance/kol/marza/ and what have you will steadily rise at the same rates.   Example i throw 9 Cobalts at a Radiance/Kol/Marza and they will all raise up to the high 20s to 30s% while the Kortul's would stay flatlined at 15%.

According to the files, it does :P All 3 races have the same rate of mitigation increase/decrease:

shieldData
 shieldAbsorbGrowthPerDamage 0.001
 shieldAbsorbDecayRate 0.0125
 shieldAbsorbBaseMin 0.15

Actually, all capships start with a max mitigation of 65%. This, however, goes up by 1.111% per level, and Advent research and culture bonus raises theirs even higher.
