Plasma gates for hangar

[Reloader90]

what about plasma gates for hangars? I want to protect my hangar from enemies...

 

[XxDanclarke96xX]

then add turrets.....

 

[Defentrix]

Naaaa man, Plasma Gates are way cooler! And turrets cant stop an AMC bullet any way

I can already see how people are going to abuse it while building their ships as a new shield system

plexdoors

who wants plexdoors when you can have PLASMA GATES OF DOOM

 

[Sven_The_Slayer]

The request was just to protect a hanger, that\'s what plexdoors can do. I\'m all for suggesting an alternative to plexdoors, like plasmagates are stronger, or they are semitransparent and animated but just requesting something that we already have without further explanation, well that doesn\'t work.

Open plexdoors absorb amc bullets. If your base has good enough shields, you enemy will have to fly into the hangar to start doing damage.

I\'m using this on a flagship to protect the joints of turrents

Plasma burns stuff. Hot as the sun. You don\'t want to fly through that.

And no one would use it to project a constant field; It takes gas and energy to generate the stuff. It\'d be imposible to keep it up for too long.

What you\'re thinking about is called a force field. As described above, you can simulate that with open plex doors and plentiful shielding.

open plex doors act as empty space, they do not block shots, to protect your hangers you actually have to close the doors.

Plasma doesn\'t have to be extreamly hot, we actually use a form of it to replace blood for doners. It is actually quite possible to create a cold plasma window, and has been done before.

Second note, i think this idea would be better for when air becomes a factor in ships. Use it like a open airlock on ships that only lets players and other ships in.

open plex doors DO stop shots

 

[zorozeenee]

im with you on this one

 

[Captain Fortius]

They share the name but the two are very different things. Blood plasm is an organic fluid. You think they\'d pump ionized gas into people?

 

[refirendum]

there\'s quite a big difference between plasma as a state of matter and blood plasma...

 

[Creeper__God]

wait open plexdoors stop shots...

 

[GROOV3ST3R]

they may be invisible and lose collision properties, but they are still THERE as an entity. Shots collide with them and by extension the shield of your mothership.

When I saw the topic name I instantly thought of the blueish clear gates in starwars and Battlefront. If you do not know what I am referring to, my idea for a hanger door is a semi see through barrier, kind of like water, that can be flown through but not shot through, unless your ships shields are down, then they can be destroyed.

@jzimmerman4
Yes I wanted to mean that gates!

I\'ve tested idea of opened plex doors serving as invisible spaced layer to create bubble shield effect around ship (like 2 months ago) and I\'ve suspected it to not work like that. But right like 5 mins ago I tested it again with better situated test \"subjects\" and it does stop those shots, it just doesnt create the shield impact effect. So now we maybe need to have that shield effect visible even on open plex doors and I think that would satisfy peoples creativity for now without some drastic principle changes. What do you think about that?
