Built Fighters have Shields

no it doesn't. my fighters don't get whacked even when fighting motherships

I doubt it. the other mods just buufs stats, all this does is add a bubble.

would this mod say conflict with this mod?

HIgh Quality Fighters

@dimwit10⁵
Apologies, i don't have the mod installed anymore. This mod not working was the trigger that pushed me to learn how to create mods myself, so i wrote my own fighter shield mods xD
Currently using it on friends-only settings on a server a share with a friend of mine. Once we finish our current campaign i'll probably publish all the mods i'm writing.

You just happened to be in luck, I just started playing again yesterday.

I've updated the version string to the current version,

Annoyed that this is listed as outdated by the game despite it working. Anything you can do on your end to update what versions its compatible with? Currently it cannot be used in multiplayer as the server won't properly send over the mod data.

Hello, may i ask if this is still working properly or not? I'm keen on installing it but considering the last few posts i'm usure, may i ask for a test from the author?
Mod is listed in red btw so i assume it needs an update to current game version anyway?
Please let me know, thanks in advance

I took a peep into the latest function that this mod replaces, and from what I can tell, nothing has changed.

This literally just adds three lines to fighterfactory.lua, specifically FighterFactory.makeFighter

if material.value >= 2 then
fighter.shield = durability * math.min((0.05 * material.value) + (0.1 * rarity.value), 1.0)
end

Thats it. If this function is changed, things will break, and it would probably have to be added back, but it should be pretty update resistant, barring direct changes to fighter creation in vanilla

Seems to be broken with the most recent patch. I started salvaging and accidentally destroyed a bunch of fighters.

This in theory, should be safe to add or remove from any save. It overrides the fighter creation method with an ever so slightly modified one. You'll have to make new fighters to see the shields, but ones with shields will stick around if you remove the mod. Prebuilt fighters are completely untouched.
