Now continuing on my first idea, the shields, in my opinoin, should not be able to regenerate like sprint untill you land in a hanger (even more detailed, a spicifc part of the hanger) and repair. And as the ship is repairing, the shield bar fills up!

That doesn't sound right, the shields should be able to regenerate no matter where you are.  If you look at my original post in this topic, I had the idea that the shield would be fifty percent of the total health bar.  As long as the health does not go below fifty percent, the shields
continue to recharge slowly (HP goes back up to full).  However, if the damage exceeds 50%, then the shields would cease to function (i.e. shield generator destroyed), and the remaining fifty percent of the health would act like a ship without shields.

Re: Shields

Well we have the same idea then, and I just failed to read lol. Going off of the idea in general, what do you all think about different units having different shield strenghths?

Re: Shields

That sounds like a very good idea to me.  After all, capital ships are going to have much stonger shields than say, the Millenium Falcon, and the MF will have stonger shield than ships like snub fighters.  But TIEs don't get shields.

Re: Shields

It'll also make everyone want to get those AT-ATs on Hoth first lol. I can imagine the panic now....

Re: Shields

AT-ATs didn't have shields, they just had very strong armor.  But I do see your point, it will be a stampede to see who can jump into the pilot seat first smile  Hopefully they will put at least two ATATs in Hoth, I would like three, plus a downed one sitting on the battlefield pouring smoke out the sides

Re: Shields

Well AT-ATs carried 40 troops in pretty chunky seats, plusa couple of speeder bikes, so pretty damn big.
