What are weapon frequency and shield frequency?
In XSW your weapons and shields each have a frequency. Generally it doesn’t matter what frequency you have your weapons and shields set too, however if the frequency of a weapon matches the frequency of the shields it is fired against then it is able to go straight through the shields and damage the hull. It’s pretty useless gameplay wise, as it’s pretty much impossible to tell what shield frequency someone is using, unless they leave it on the default frequency, so remember to change it! Shield frequency can be changed by pressing the “f”-key and weapon frequency by pressing the “y”-key.
