why cap ships shouldnt have shields and neither should nomads - Treewyrm - 07-07-2009
Sure. Then let's get cloaking ability for all their ships, have their weapons proportional to the difference they had in SP to normal human weapons, and of course the gun on light fighter capable of blowing entire bases in one pass, see FP7 cutscene for the reference. Guess what? It ain't going to happen. Period. This is Discovery and things are different here, so take your annoying, poorly performed and entirely naked trolling elsewhere, thank you very much.

You're missing the point here angry little man. Nomads evolve too. Now they have shields on ships too! To me, this just looks like either A) A cheap shot at cap ships and Nomads or B)Something that looks like an attack because you died.
Seriously. Do your research before making threads like this.
As for the capital ships, I honestly doubt that's gonna work. Why? The armou would probaply be upped, or some other form of compensation. If this 'idea' makes it through in the first place.

Caps shouldn't have shields, of course, all things point to that.
However.
You do notice the ungodly shaking when capital ships take hits to the hull?
Now imagine everyone flying a capital ship having headaches because their screen keeps shaking, not to mention the huge detriment to being able to actually aim.
As for Nomads, seems they found a workaround of the shields, which makes it plausible for them to have veils, which Exile described up there.
In conclusion. If the shaking problem could be solved, then I'd go right ahead and suggest removing cap shields and balancing their hulls accordingly so they don't lose strength.

If you'd remove shields from caps, the equipment would need more hitpoints as well, otherwise, they'd get blown off much faster than they are now.

of course, just take the HP they have with a shield and add it to their armor, same thing except no recharge.

And here's me complaining about the repair cost the Texas rad field causes to my Eagle, imagine the cost for a cap ship owner, they'd all just suicide into the nearest sun.

' Wrote:i would like to see both groups lose shields, cruisers, battleships, and gunboats need to lose the shields. Things can be balanced.
Think of all the lolwutters this would stop.
Well, I really don't have much to say here because I RARELY use a cap ship and of coarse I don't fly a nomad. BUT ok you take the shields off off all these ships.
Lets just say Gunboats, If you take the shields off of that ship. One bomber with 2 nova torps is an instakill for that gunboat so please tell me how that would be balanced?

still reduces lolwutters, and repair costs can be reduced i suppose.

I fail to see the connection between lolwutters and the availability of shields for capital ships.
