Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released
How about making the low velocity particle cannons (DUC, others?) 2x against shields? Afterall, it isn't just energy hitting the shields, it's actual mass, which should be harder to stop (IMHO). Besides, it would make them a little more useful, maybe even until midgame...

Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released
I have some ideas for cannon variations, but I think not for 2.5, because there are some Proportions 2.x games in progress, and largely changing a weapon that is likely in widespread use would tend to disturb the coherence of those games.
Which types of weapons would have more or less effects on shields, logically speaking, depends on what kind of shields you imagine. Some shields currently being researched actually only affect solid projectiles.

Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released
I would like to get involved in a Proportions PBW game. Please let me know if anyone has an opening or if a new game starts.

Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released
You're in luck Shayne. A player just dropped out of Proportions 24hr (my game)
http://seiv.pbw.cc/text/index.jsp?me...3fgame=1taddsi
runing latest Version of Proportions and SE4; the Last player dropped out because 24hr turns was a bit fast.

Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released
Not handy. I've noticed two different shield techs listed in the popular media recently. One is designed to zap and defeat incoming shaped-charge armor-piercing cannon rounds. The other is the plasma shield which someone posted a link to on this forum recently.

Re: Proportions 2.4.2 released
Help, I need somebody...
Umm. Just downloaded Prop 2.4.2. Several, well all really, of the non-stock races included don't have pics or AI files, which of course causes errors when adding a new race.
Am I missing something. I did d/l the complete Version.
