A commander on the Elite Dangerous subreddit has reported a bug where the Nomad SRV's shields sometimes fail instantly during deployment from the Caspian ship. This issue appears to occur about half the time, regardless of the Nomad's movement or position, suggesting an unintended vulnerability during the deployment animation. The player urges Frontier Developments to make the Nomad temporarily immune to damage while deploying to prevent shield loss. This bug could affect SRV survivability in hazardous environments and may impact other commanders using the Nomad.
- Approximately 50% chance of shield failure during deployment.
- Issue occurs regardless of movement or position during deployment.
