Armour

[Conor2124]

I think a few extra pieces of armour should be available such as a “Heavy Armour Block” which has extra health but each piece has to be bought using a small amount of resources; also with the new Freeze/Burn update in the works maybe implement armour resistant armours with a tint to show they’re for each effect or perhaps if colouring is implemented add a coloured shiny effect ontop of the base colour.

Also different shaped armour would be good such as curved corner pieces, Semi Circular pieces and eqalateral triangles for new unique designs.

Good ideas. Quick note on buying stuff: The problem with buying for tools/parts which might get destroyed in a mission and you have to re-buy them is, that if you're a bad player, your might get stuck in a loop in which you are too bad to finish the mission, might spend all your resources on new parts and lose them as well and then are too bad to get new resources or it's too much of a grind to get enough resources to get enough good parts and so on. The mechanic of buying parts which you can loose has the potential of bringing not so good players in a situation which is frustrating and not fun - we think.

We therefore decided that whatever you unlocked with resources, you will keep it forever, so that your work/grind is not in vain. Other games have other solutions but for Nimbatus we deemed this the best one.

More and different shield parts are definitely coming sometime in the future

Yes that is the idea I envisioned a one time purchase so say once you have bought 10 of the better armour blocks you always have access to those regardless of whether it is destroyed in a mission or not, so it would be more a case of saving up to buy a large number of blocks for larger builds meaning larger builds cost more than simpler smaller designs giving a further feel of progression.
