Hello all, first post here. Anyway, this is my first run after the new update and in sector 6 I just found a ship with 5 shields, just curious if this is actually supposed to be possible or not. This is the first I have ever seen any ship have more than 4, even the Flagship doesn't. I don't run any mods or anything so nothing should be interfering with it. Here is a picture courtesy of fraps.

Yeah that can happen and is by design. Only in very late sectors on Normal though, and fairly rare.
