| Summary | 0001777: Sheild Bearers have too much health | ||||

I second this. When their health was increased a few patches ago in addition to their radius increase, it was just all too much. They are big balls of invulnerability for humans too. A halving of their health at least is in order. Maybe they should have a 20% decrease in radius (or equivalently taking a third of the area whichever way it is set) to stop them from covering each other for mid battle repairs as much. Throw in whatever factor it is to make them take longer to repair as well because right now they can go to full in a tenth of a second from a MRS, so as soon as they get an instant of repair time they are covering other damaged FFBs. Even better, make it so if ANYTHING in their radius takes damage, they can't repair. That could be too CPU intensive and take extra programming that isn't worth it over just changing the radius down some to prevent them covering each other long enough to repair. |

* Shield Bearers have been changed to Heavy on their ship type. Thus more ships (including turrets) actually get bonuses against them. The max health of shield bearers has also been halved. Feel free to reopen if this doesn't seem to do enough. |
