I recently have beaten the boss (finally) on normal mode, i did a long time ago on easy but yeah, when i was on my way to the boss i found this pimped automated scout, idk if he's a bug or whatever but yeah, have a look, and yeah, u gonna see my graphical bugs, if someone knows how to fix those, please tell me. :)

I mean, like seriously? How is it possible that it has 5 bars of shields? .-.
I guess it's gonna be interesting to put on the forum so i took a screenshot. :)

There are several threads like this one: It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Because you're limited to 8 points in shields, it doesn't mean everybody else is.

I never ran into one, but the missile description DOES say that it pierces 5 shields, so I guess it was planned.

Have you tried all tricks from this thread: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1911 ?

BTW, there is a very well hidden search feature on this forum: it's in the very bottom of the page lower-left corner, in super-small text.

There's a reason if autoships I still respect and fear in any situation (even when they are shieldless in an asteroid field... yeah) as they can naturally EVOLVE into these monsters.

I also think that the same is true for the flagship with drones beam,defense,and attack are 2 power each boarding is 3 witch comes out to 9

Good point. There are also many enemies with more than 8 in weapons. But shields are simply most visible.
(if you have sensors3, you can see that many enemies with 4 shields in fact have one extra bar, just to soak dmg)
