Shield Deactivation

Tue Jul 31, 2007 1:27 pm by NotOfSoundMind

I have searched the forums and have come up empty. So my question to all you
is it possible to manually deactivate the shields? If so, how?

At least in the vanilla version, when you jettison cargo..you're shield goes down briefly. Now, if we can figure out how to make that work in MP...

there is an unused key for 'activating items' but it does not work

I've just had a thought... would it be possible to force sheild deactivation on Firing of Weapons? It would make for some interesting PvP...

I thought it would be neat if I put a shield bubble around a Rheinland Battleship.
Yeah, cool, until you have to go through a narrow opening, like a jump gate.

Rankor.... your shield deactivates in MP when jettisoning cargo as it is :S

Hey Cheese, well, not quite all of them.
I don't know why, but some just didn't appear to drop at all on some mods.

On the Rheinland Battleship, I just mentioned, the modified shields I added to it
do not deactivate when I jettison cargo. For what reason, I do not know, but it
would help if I could deactivate the shields that way.

Never tried the idea, but perhaps an EMP torpedo that detonates 0.0001 sec after launch? wouldnt look to sexy or integrated but *should* do the trick with a small blast radius too. Ignore me if i'm talking rubbish, havent modded for ages

+++ out of cheese error - redo from start +++

now theres an idea that would work for the jumpgates - just create a new faction that hates everybody, and put your invisible EMP in the loadout

can't blame ya for not moddin - kinda discouraging when stargate and bsg mods attract so much attention (ur franchises = lame!)
