Auto-Regenerative Shielding

Gandalph · #1 July 28th, 2002, 04:23 AM

I think partial regen per combat turn would provide a more acceptable, ala scifi, "realistic" representation. Many of the scifi games out there provide for slow shield damage and shield damage first, with some collateral damage. I am currently playing a bit of Bridge Commander and I keep hearing my Engineering Officer telling me "shields down to 75%....shields down to 50%...." so, even though damage is getting by, the next time the enemy fires you still have 75% shields available, then 50%, etc.

EDIT - I liked this enough I wrote it down and I am going to add my versiom to my BOD Mod!

Quite powerful, but not unbalancing.

Yea, I was veeeeery tempted to take that combo for P&N on PBW...

I kinda still wish that I had taken the combo, but I didn't think that it would fit in with the Rage very well. I think it would be a kickin combo.

Armor skipping weapons
Kickin anti-shield weaps
Events predictor for system defense
Temporal Shipyards + Crystalline Restructuring = Cheaper ships, built faster
Shield boosters for system defense
Crystaline armor AND Harmonic shields = nigh impenetrable shields

And Temporal Vacation Service, to boot! Of coarse, getting all this stuff researched with the production modifiers ....
