DEB shields

[Andon]

You could do a DEB Shield with a 'missile' as well.

Have no acceleration and no launch velocity, and whaever lifetime is right. Change the armor class and the health to whatever you need.

If you are stopped, then it will be stationary when you launch it. If you are moving, then it will move with you. The bad part about doing that, though, is that if any ship other than yours hits it, it vanishes

[Archangelus]

Although never seeing that, I liked the ideia, it seems funny, and helpfull. It seemed a good way to counter xrm tp2´s. Other than another things. But wouldnt it be better if implemented at another ship than patties?

[the_dare]

definatly a way to balance xrm tp2 i found pattie worked nicely as a nerf for the tech!¬

[redavian]

can emp can take it down???

also how big is it, and what happens if you put on aleph?

is it still on any cores?

[Psychosis]

avian, none of the new popular cores are running it, however if you boot up one of the older cores, it may still have it.

i vote that any ship can drop it, it has light base hull/shield and costs 1k but surrounds a base

just something to give you the extra 5 seconds or 1 srm to save a base

with giga its almost not worth it at a certain point in the game, its like 3k for a lt op and with a 1k price tag you dropped 1 then bought a new base

it is really only useful when you have it in the beginning/mid of a game except in sg's where SysX will whore on SRM and then block all alephs out of their home with it until the day grows old

ouch, watch the cheap shots, especially considering RT lost the last game against SRM (not the SPQR/PK/SRM one either)

DEB would have it's uses, but remember it weighs a ton, so getting into position to use it offensively would take you forever.

[redavian]

apply the destroy probe code to it so it cant be put on alephs

[Psychosis]

probably a good idea, but it wont stop people from building it just inside the aleph so that you cant avoid it.

at 1k or more a pop, you wont be spamming these things, they are expensive

But, if you have a good giga econ... you know, those games w. 30k-40k in bank, Yah...
