Todays Patch,
Shield Cycle as follows (Stay with me here this bit is important.)
this is the third time i'm writing this.. it always sounds like gobeldygook. so i'm going to write it in bullet point form because i'm simple minded.

-Server will Pick a random time between 45 mins and 120 mins (This may be extended)
-Once the picked time has run out, Server will then Play the horn blast (Indicating that you have 5 mins before the shield goes down)
-Visual indicators in that 5 mins, the big tall shield tubes (11 of them) they will power down 1 at a time over those 5 mins.
-Server will then set the shield to be off/down.
-The shield will be down for a random time between 30/45 mins
- Once the random time has elapsed, the Horn will sound indicating you have 5 mins remaining inside the shield.
-Visual indicators will be the shield tubes powering back up.
-After that the shield will go back up.

Next patch will include an extra part to that > at the end

Shield will go up Poison gas will fill up from the bottom of the shield during that last 5 mins.(edited)
