1 FreakyWaves Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Some concept "ART" More of ideas indeed... Normal Shield : 5hits and 3 sec to recharge BIg Shield : 3hits and 5 sec to recharge Gigantic Shield : 1hit But 0.5 sec recharge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lurkily Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Honestly, I think shields are approaching a pretty good balance. I think any further refinements should go into the current shield block. The only additional thing I want from them is a blast shield; a shield that blocks AOE damage, but doesn't stop projectiles.

0 ManTheMister Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I like the idea of a larger shield. Either a larger radius, and/or more health, but proportionally higher energy use age. Radius might be slightly harder to balance, seeing as you could theoretically have all of your shields In he middle of your drone and not have to spread them throughout.

You'd be super vulnerable to AoE; my main objection is just not seeing the need. Go too big, and you're less protected, not more. I'm not really opposed heavily, but I don't think I'd use them much, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally Id like a shield upgrade to increase the strength of a shield. Similar to what we have for guns. Shields could use less energy, stronger protection, have bigger areas, recharge faster, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make your shield too big, and their default attack range will make your shield useless once they close. Unless this changed at some point. EDIT: This did change, but I'd swear it used to be the case. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lurkily Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Interesting. I was correct about lasers . . . LASERS, if fired past a shield's perimeter, are not blocked by shields. Huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lurkily Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The bugs - but I assume that an enemy drone's lasers would behave no differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
