Yeah, Baron. I consider the one Planetary Shield per sector a feature, as opposed to a bug. Just thought it worth noting.
I completed a completely unmodded test in 1.35, and came up with the same results: nebula creators and black hole creators both will work in a system with a System Gravitational Shield Facility. Presence of ring or sphereworld in the system makes no difference, either -- not that they logically would, I was just trying to be thorough.
Martin: I haven't tried modding the facility with the "Stop Star Destroyer" ability yet to test it, but that's next on the list. Wouldn't hold out much hope for it, as two of the other system-scope "Stop xxxx" abilities don't seem to.
Haven't heard from Aaron yet. Gee, you don't think he's busy, do ya?
And I'm not sure this is a super vital issue, given Baron's point that these things rarely become useful in the scope of a normal game.
Again: Anybody out there have a system-wide shield facility work?
<edit: Hmmmm. Y'know, I probably should try assigning the "Stop nebula creator" ability to something else in the system, huh? Make sure it's the ability that isn't working as opposed to the facility itself -- not that it's too likely, but still ....
