Massive planetary shields

Daynarr · #1 April 9th, 2001, 04:18 PM

Well, I have made shields have 20000 points and they are worth the trouble. Of course, you will use them on large and important planets where they will protect your WP-s while they shoot the enemy. That way the large planets can hold very long time against very large fleets. Of course, the 2000 points of protection is way too low, so if you don't mod them they are worthless.

There is something even better - AI from TDM pack will use these shields as well (you are on even terms).

I was unable to change the shields from normal to phased, it's not an ability!
How did you do it SJ???
If the change can not be made they are worthless in the end game stage.

Some of the planet sheilds are not to stop beams and such but to stop planet distorying weapons (Hmmm I'll drop troops Sir)

Why not have differnt levels of the massive shields. I know it is one of those special techs, but could't you still add more levels for it once it's discoverd?

That would be unfair as only one player could benefit from that change.
I made planetery shields components which were a lot smaller than the massive but again these can only be normal shields.
Also I don't think that hey would stop troops landing.

Aussie,
Add the ability Phased Shield Generation to the facility. Value 1 is the amount of shielding. Value 2 is 0

"Planet - Shield Generation"
That is the term/ ability used for the massive shield generators, and now my planetry generators.

There is no Planet- Phased Shield generation.

So are you just making a shield for the building only?
