idea for Nemesis shielding

[Erk]

the generations shields look to be the closest to nemesis as we'll get with this game. i suggested making the shield bubble smaller, so stray torpedoes wont bring the tip of your shields down. i wonder tho, you know how torpedoes often leave a small explosion or smoke on your shields? what if those animations were manipulated into a shield texture, so when a torp hits you get a blue glow instead of a small explosion.

The script for the "burn" shield textures could have something in it to de-activate the script when the shield "bubble" fails/would fail.

If that's possibble at all.

The textures would also just have to flash, but it may be possible to animate them like the CGSov bussards.

Hopefully. :lol:

The only aspects of shields that can be configured from scripts are:
colour and per shield vector it's strength and recharge time.
That's it (aside from power usage and such, but that isn't dealt with in the shield class, but in the PoweredSubsystem class).

That's it.

Man, I can't believe people are still asking about this.

If MLeo says it can't be done.  It can't.

indeed...

Let me put it like this, I don't see it happening.
At the very least, not properly in a way that won't drag out a lot of "negative comments".
