Shieldbusters

[Van]

@McNeo: That is because all current Shield Busters are Pulse energy types. Also, an idea for a Pulse chain gun, A chain gun with equal Hull and shield damage, both weak, might be cool. Would do less hull damage than current chains, but more shield damage still.

I like the things Dab and McNeo said, about making More shield busters, and how each shield buster dos not need to be Pulse type, maybe.

I voted Yes. The whole point of a shield is to prevent damage to your hull. If one gun salvo, hell, if one shot (from several shield busters) takes out your shield then, why not just get rid of shields all together? Beef up the Hull armor, replace Bats with more Bot carrying capacity, and end it all.

But, that would not work, I do not think. Shields are to embedded into this game. Weapon weaknesses and strengths would become meaningless.

Instead of removing them then, perhaps weaken the ones we have (less damage, less energy consumption, screw with the stats in general).

Consider the possibility of making more shield busters for everyone. Why should an Elite Military Ace pilot only have access to "civilian" shield busting weaponry? (I was going to say civilian Pulse weaponry, but shield busters do not need to be Pulse) If you do make more shield busters, than I would still support the weakening of all shield busters, perhaps, just to give some power back into the importance of shields, especially if you make shield busters with energy types other than Pulse.
