Removing pulse weapons

[Jinx]

about ships "starting to have different shields" ... its a RP server.... ships "should" have different shields anyway. - just cause the players don t want it doesn t mean its not an option ( or even mandatory ).

BHGs use molecular shields for example... you will not see a single BHG with another shield type... - so BHG players should mount molecular shields as much as they should stick to their own weapons. ( had to use the BHG as an example, cause its the faction that came to my mind just now )

every faction has faction shields. - its the players fault that they don t mount them. - in 4.85, ships will be sold with FACTION shields... so if you see anyone with different shields... he did it to either RP a different shield or to gain an advantage ( or cause he liked the name better whatever... ) - but if you stick to what you purchased your ship with - you ll have the shield type that you are meant to have.

if outcasts used graviton shields - and corsairs used positron shields - and you d see a corsair with graviton shields and an outcast with positron shields - it would almost be as "wrong" as seeing an outcast with tizonas and a corsair with krakens ( well, not THAT wrong, cause its not really factionized, but i m sure you get the idea ... )


people on capital warships usually have graviton shields, cause the ships ( currently ) come with graviton shields only. - its just one simple scan of a NPC of your own faction to see what shields the faction prefers.... of course... if its about pvp, one would choose the one that protected the best.... . but its not all about pvp:).


about shieldbusters vs. different shields... i m not 100% sure, but i think that only pulse weapons allow a variable shield / hull damage. - other weapontypes must have 100% hull damage and 50% shield damage. - so only pulse weapons can be shieldbuster - but no particle weapons for example.
