What the hell does the NC "Max Capacitor" do?

[RockHunter]

I can't figure out what the Max Capacitor does on NC maxes. It deactivates if I move or fire. If I'm damaged in any way it doesn't heal me or repair my armour. Am I missing something here? Well, obviously I'm missing something... so what does it do, exactly?

The NC max capacitor creates a shield around the max, i'm pretty sure u can use it while moving, but not while firing, I'm not exactly sure how the shield works though, I think it reduces the amount of bullets or fire which actually hits you and goes down faster the more you get shot. But then I've never rly pld an nc max so who knows :P

once activated it makes you invunerable until they hit you enough times so the bar goes (i.e one shot with a decimator - sure damage carries over as well) pretty crap as i'm sure AP ammo seeps through but good if you're running and a reaver chases you, one point though, you can't activate WHILST, running do it before

Oh right - so it's basically to defend against surprise attacks?
I suppose I could live with that.

Can be handy for attacking base control centers, mine removal and being a bullet shield for infantry like me :)
