Anti-Radiation Shields?

Sun Nov 21, 2004 10:26 am by Mobius1

I ran a search on the forum but couldnt find what I was looking for so I might as well post the idea:

Is it possible to add an additional shield type to the game? A shield that will prevent the affects of radiation on the ships hull?

With all good things their needs to be a bad side so in this case why dont you cancel the radiation effects but lower the ability of the shield to withstand the effects of gun and missile bombardment.

It would be a nice little addition to those who search for wrecks in space (I want to start doing this now) Maybe this particular type of shield could be found only in a wreck itself... If it was buyable in the shops, well in this case, because its such a specialized device, maybe its price should be higher than normal, even though its only good side is the fact that it can withstand the effects of radiation.

Would be nice if it was multiplayer enabled too.

Sorry, not possible. Radiation damage is just a line in zones of systems. Enter the zone, you take damage.

If I could follow up on this a little:

Maybe you could create diffent standards of Anti-Radiation Shields...

Basic Anti-Radiation Shield: 20% Resistant - Price: 50.000
Delux Anti-Radiation Shield: 40% Resistant - Price: 150.000
Advanced Anti-Radiation Shield: 60% Resistant - Price: 500.000
Nomad Anti-Radiation Shield: 100% Resistant - Price: Wrecks Only

Or something of that nature?

No, Chips has just said that this is impossible to do.

Dont you just find it utterly irrating when so many ideas cant be achieved *sighs*

Check out this thread. It's a sort of wishlist of all the ideas we can't do but want to.

What about just making a shield that are good against physical damage but not any of the guns?

Can't do that, either.

Shields only resist Energy damage. Period. They won't do jack about radiation, coronas, or anthing else that can bypass Shields (this is hard-coded behavior).

So there just isn't any way to do it- the best compromise would be to check out repair devices... which sort've kind've could make armor damage act like Shields (in a very crude way).
