Rejected Shield management

Shield Management


Hi
Today I look to the shields;

Their mechanism is pretty simple, that's why i have this:

This is an exmple: the shield surround the ship without touching the blocs.

With this we cand do an improvement, their management:

The circles is an representation of the shield:

We can redistribute power of the shield at other parts to empowered them.

good idea? me too!

People don't like bubble shields for some strange reason :c

Because they're not worth the added performance hit that apparently comes with them.

You are neither the first nor the last to suggest this.

Certainly not the first to propose bubble shields, but I do like the (Star Wars EU-like) mechanism of choosing where your shields are strongest, which leads to localized shields failures, particular weakpoints, etc. Also, it allows for starfighter tactics to become more valuable---a salvo of starfighter missiles/projectiles won't then need to disable the shields of the entire enemy vessel, just a section, before making a second run to destroy the ship.

SkylordLuke, why don't we have a 'rejected' section in the FSM?

Definitely no thanks. Bubble shields would encourage people to try and ram to stick their guns under the bubble and ignore the enemy shields, which sounds like a disgusting laggy nightmare to me. Rerouting shield strengths to different areas is also not something I agree with. Shields are supposed to be everywhere and equal. if you want stronger protection in one specific area, use armor, and design your ship with good armor locations.

There are three certain things in a starmader's life: Taxes, death, and bubble shield suggestions.
