Yes, and it makes sense when you think about it. If the softcap increase was 1 AC to 1 softcap, a 45 AC softcap would be completely removed by a 10+ AC shield when a level 5's worn AC clamp is 55.

This would make shields a bit OP at low levels, especially with the abundance of 25 AC Sarnak Battle Shields.

The data right now indicates a 12 AC shield would only increase your softcap by 1 or 2. Maybe it's 10% of the shields AC at level 5, but I haven't compared other shields yet.
