Shield limitations - Dab - 04-19-2006
I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed those types of guns (heck put 12 battlerazors for all i care) I'm just saying it shouldn't be able to shoot them without losing as little energy as it does. It should have a smaller energy core. And should not have any other shields than what it starts with. ATM it is possible to destroy my destroyer with it.

Quote:I vboted yes, that ruins it for all when people do that, My other server (ioncross total war) had the same problem. Well heres an idea to fix it. Instead of putting it at a level 10 make a new level. But they had it named so istead of it saying "Level 12 shield" it said "Cruiser Shield" or Light fighter shield" and u coudnt mount the light fighter shield on a heavy, it was class for class and so on. same with guns instead of saying "level 4 gun" it said "Rhienland light wepon" and you could only mount the light wepons. But with that said i know it will be almost impossible for us (i shouldnt say that cause i am not a helper in making it) that its almost impossible to do, they did it cause they got a 200+++ with programming and such. Will anyone take this opinion into concideration? Josh Out
Still my point makes all this pretty clear, we just need to do this: /\

Can I try making another suggestion?
I agree with Josh, but on the other hand, I like Kane's idea of the Akki. My point: is it possible to have some players be given the privilege of a modded ship like the Akki? Of course, if the player proves he's/her's worthiness of such a reward.

I have no problem with people mounting whatever shield they can on their ships. If someone is willing, as I was, to pay for a battleship shield, then so be it
Rather than bitching about this, perhaps you should ask yourself: why would anyone pay that kind of money for a single shield? The simple answer is that some weapons are extremely overpowered to the point where a failed shield is tantamount to a death sentence - and the extra protection of a larger shield is needed. When a group of NPC pirates can strip my freighters shield in a matter of seconds, what can a small group of skilled PC pirates not do? So of course I want the best protection available.
I wouldnt mind making special slots for capital ship shields, but then overall shield strength for all shields needs to be boosted significantly

Hey , hey hey... Knock it off. The Lux and Prison liners are afterall much more closer to a Lesser BS than A transport. Actually thinking of the Liners as a transports its ridiculous. They are cruser-class ships (because of the lack of a lesser BS class-like ship e.g. fregate or somth.) They should be able to equip cruser shields. OH and another thing - the shield and equipment stuff for Caps I have already proposed million times and I am getting tired of typing the same Sh*t over and over - Just make the da*n things with LV restrictuions - Transports/gunboats - lv8 , cruser/destrouerner - lv9 , BS - lv 10. Then there won't be any chance of getting a bs shield for GB , and this will enable intoducing in the mod some other types of shields for each class , without dissbalancing everything.
Oh and the famous Mon Calamari cruser (the flag ship of the Rebels from SW univerce) is heavily modified civilian liner for the needs of the war.
