Shields.

[PRJKTLRD]

So I always had this on my mind for years but I never got to the point where I would post. Most because, I'd have this idea while being high and then, when I would get home I'd usualy have that 15hr nap and forget about it.

If you remember playing vanilla FL for the first time, you then know that as you would progress trough the game, you would see different types of shields. I'm talking about colour, look and sound. They all look cool and sound cool.

To remind you, there was on beginning that usual white shield- the class 1. And then, I believe when you would reach enough level, you'd get that similar white, class 3. Same color, similar look and a bit different sound.

Soon after that, you'd get that class 6 shield that you could mount on your Kusari snubs (as you would reach Kusari you would discover it) which is yelow, forms shape like sun in the point of the hit and has buzzing sound.

After that, you'd get to I believe Valkyrie or any other Rheinland vessel and you would have that green/yelow like cloudy shield with harsh sound (you can still see it in discovery mod right now, when obtaining like any VHF and it's class 8 or Fr. class 5 24k shield).

And on the end, theres this type we all know, white- like bubbles shield with this cool sound. I bet it already bored you guys too, it's too typical.

My point? I always had idea to have all these types of shields avaible to you in any class. (highest class for LF, HF, VHF, BMB). We could separate them into different types and make them stronger against some types of ammo/projectiles, like we do have, but we do have for two per shield and they all look and sound same. I'm talking about a bit more diversity, which I'm sure many players would appreciate, like they do now with engines (kudos!)

Opinions?

edit: we have Nomad veils too but they aren't supposed to be mounted on human crafted vessels.
