    Water - just 1 cr per block.

    Sadly it has the same weight as everything and blocks objects :p

    If there was oxygen implemented, then these plasma shields could keep the oxygen in.

    Also, see Ep. III of Star Wars in the beginning. Could get a little more in depth.

    which is called an energy shield gate instead of a plasma one but instead of acting like a shield it instead acts like a pass-through doorway that only allows people from the same faction to enter same going with ships in the same faction. but on the other hand, going through the comment section of this forum post i agree that people will exploit this mechanic to have a secondary shield system that would overlap the first one and if it is true that open plex doors can block shots then there is not really any need to add this mechanic other than just for looks. but it actualy might become a use to the game if oxygen was added being programed only to keep oxygen in

    Plasma shields have limited shield power, and less than normal shields but you can fly trough it but not shoot trough it

    Do PlexDoors not die after the shield breaks?

    I guess these plasma gates should not be close-able, visible while open and not block shots after the shield is down.

    +1.

    My idea is that these gates would stop enemy fire as long as your ships shields were up, as soon as your shields go down, your plasma gates \"turn off\" until your shields regenerate.

    Quite an intruiging concept, with a lot of potential for creativity, but it would be easy to abuse in the wrong hands.

    By the same token, it could be used to create very interesting designs if presented to an experienced builder.

    YES i once made a suggestion like this it was where you could place a block that is see through and you can fly through it but it keep bullets from flying in and when fired at the bullets hit the block as if it was hull and the shields of the carrier are used to block it but if your power runes out then the blocks can be shot through also another thing i mentioned is where if you set a faction block on your ship only ships owned by your faction can go through them but this affect also drops when power is lost

    i was thinking the block or what ever it is would look something like this...

    As it would be cool to add these into the game there needs to be more to go with it. If they were to add this i think they would have it as part of an update that adds more to build with on space stations. Or more of a need for them. Like as mentioned before with maybe the addition of Oxygen so the plasma doors are more of a use.

    The problem is - we can\'t.



    Everything that stops bullets (liquids, open plex doors, etc) dies after the shield is down.
