Topic: The shield

I was just thinking that the deployable shield looks pretty...crap. I know theres lots more important stuff to be doing but im wondering if it will be updated. Its just too plain.

Re: The shield

Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it?

Re: The shield

It looks fine to me. Can you elaborate beyond "pretty crap"?

Re: The shield

Maybe use the default design from 2142?  It's red with pin stripes!  *insert crowd sound fx - Oooohh!! Aaaahh!!*  Eh I think it's ok myself.  Are you talking about the actual shield in particular or perhaps the base that emits the shield?

My only gripe with the shield is that it uses a general model that's based off the domes atop the ISD - and the domes are radars, not shield generators. Other than that, no.

Other than that, I'd like to see an experimental setup where the shield doesn't go away when the player dies, but rather goes away after a set duration of time unless powered by a generator.

The shield does stay for a nice time after the player dies, about as long (if not longer) then the Bacta, Generator and Ammo Crate last.
