Alternate Shields

I have a suggestion about how to do the shields. I like the shield impact effets you guys have done, they're mint as, however, you don't appear to be able to damage shields at all, they are more like an inpenetrable defence field. Perhaps shields could be implemented like in the SW warlords mod, where shields are like another bar of health sorta thing. i.e. ships don't take hull damage until the shields are down.
Unfortunately we might loose the cool shield effects, but its worth investigating.

I don't know if it's possible, and we don't know how make this, sorry.
But we can search.

Actually we can do it but we need Maya 5.0 but we didn't found it. Advise us if you do.

GOOD NEWS! Slimbox from the French forum actually find a way to do it without this program but to do it we'll need to redo all the models so it will take a while.

Mint
On another note, although i like how the drones penetrate shields, it kinda makes sides with them a wee bit unbalanced. And....speaking of drones, too many make my pc lag out and i somehow think an 8800gt, x2 4200+ and 2GB ram is enough.
And....drones are fail at hitting an ori supergate and fighter class (possibly corvette as well), although somehow i don't think it will be easy if at all possible .

Thanks

yes 2 much drones makes my pc laggy aswell but dont worry its normal lol
about the hitting problem well if u noticed hitting a normal gate is troublesome aswell i think thts cuz of the path of drones they circle and hit if lucky dont take my word for it tho lol i was just here and i answered but its best to wait for moderators of this mod to tell u anything more or correct me
