Summary0000173: shield boost tooltip incorrect
Descriptionhttp://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,6934.0.html

The description for a planetary shield booster reports it "provides 200% bonus" but in actuality it provides 3x as said in-game by the unit names. This was observed after completing the construction of one of these on a human planet.

Oh, I don't mean it like that (unless that were true, units with shields greater than intentional).

Screenshot.

That actually works out.

+100% shield boost would be a 2x shield boost (because you're adding on the full strength of the shield again), and +200% shield boost would add on the full strength of the shield twice again, so you end up with 3x the shield strength.

It might make it more clear if the tooltip just said "3x shield boost" instead of "200%".
