To address these ships and to provide an interesting mechanic for ships that wish to forego regular Shields in exchange for something a bit more potent if in a 'sniping' role, I'd like to suggest that there be a special System for those ships that generates an invulnerable, short-term frontal shield.Īfter the shield goes down, the ship's Flux is raised to 99% of maximum, no matter how much damage it took.
The Hull Mod doesn't address those problems, is a pretty lousy Shield, in terms of power (it has a lousy DPS-Flux ratio) and is generally so 'makeshift' that it's useless for the OPs, I'd much rather put ITU and a really-long-ranged weapon on those ships, if one's available (usually HVDs, since Heavy Maulers are too rare). Typically under-powered, in terms of core Flux stats, especially Capacity.ī. Makeshift Shield Generator is really not a great Hull Mod, largely because the ships that most-need it are:Ī. Just a quick thought that occurred to me today, because I was looking at the shieldless ships for another reason.
