Re: Shields

In the movies the X-Wing and such seemed like they didnt have shields...it always showed them being taken in out in like 1 or two hits.

Well weren't the shields in the movies weak? The Melinum Falcon took alot of damage when under attack by the TIE Fighters, and their shields were up. Echo Base was easy to over come too. I think there should be limited shielding, but nothing visable because that's too Star Trek like, even though I love both.

Thats because ground things can walk right though shilds. The echo base shield was for bombardments.

Re: Shields

But u also need a visual effect when u hit the shield, like a distortion or something and in the MF a light was flashing when they lost another shield

Re: Shields

Hey all First post on the forums here:

I think shields would be a great addition. although depending on how strong you make them, the TIEs and other Imps craft need to have equaly balanced lasers or I hate to say it hulls. It would be great to have it just like the SW universe, but the way BF2 is setup having a advantage like this would significanlty alter the battlefield.

In the SW universe, the one way the Imps countered the rebels shields was to throw 2x, 3x, 5x the number of fighters into the battle. Since having that much of a difference in numbers would not be good for the Rebels in the BF2 mod, if all the pilots switched to something else.

Just some thoughts on the matter.

Re: Shields

Re: Shields

When grand admirl thwan was in power he equiped all fighters with sheilds. but thats after the mod time period so tie fighters and intercepters won't have shields.
