| Summary | 0019814: Change Shieldbearers from a fleetship to a 1 per mark Starship (for performance reasons) (EDIT: effectively in, ignore) | ||||
| Description | As noted (I think because of my...er, ghetto Shieldbearers), having lots of these are a performance killer. Still, I think the idea of changing a units defense type like that is rather cool and unique, so why not make them into a Starship if you are still going to put them in? Allows the same usage but far better performance. (Though I do recall people *hated* facing these...I think it was Kahuna, in old forum posts? So I can get why people'd yell "No!" at including them at all). EDIT: Riots do seem to fill this role, but have...not the greatest HP. Still, I suppose Shieldbearers would get obnoxious in balancing, so maybe Riots will do. EDIT 2: Nevermind, forgot that Riots would get much improved HP and extra ships per tech level, so they really are exactly what this suggestion is. Thanks Badger. | ||||

Don't Riot Starships already have shields? |
|

They do, but they aren't too strong for their cap I think. If they become their classic versions with modules they won't always have them, but fair point. I did think of it but figured I'd toss it on anyway. |

We have these on the list of "not coming back" at the moment. We haven't set up any graphics for them, or anything of that sort. These were one of the main reasons I didn't want bubble shields at all, for a while there. Now we have them again, but the intent is only a few power-hitters. |

Ahh, thanks. I forgot about that file, I'll have a look through it again so I don't do this another time. |
