@teax: actually, if i remember right, the most recent big update which brings crew construction might need you to do testing for it. Other then that, have fun elsewhere mate.
RaiderLeader666 6 Jul, 2023 @ 2:23am 
nvm i see its not, mb
RaiderLeader666 6 Jul, 2023 @ 2:22am 
Unless thats not your mod
RaiderLeader666 6 Jul, 2023 @ 2:21am 
Don't forget remote power
Teax  [author] 6 Jul, 2023 @ 12:39am 
done, let me know if something else is not working
RaiderLeader666 5 Jul, 2023 @ 9:20pm 
Needs updated, just one line defining the compatibility with game versions

Greetings, progress yes, ready no :(
Due to RL etc i play this game not as much as it would deserve it.
The dude who wanted to make the sprites for the generator has sadly not the time due to the same reasons with RL and work.

Quote, "Large shield generators are not ready yet and therefor not implemented in this mod for now."

Any progress on the Large shield generators?
Torkkar 4 Apr, 2023 @ 10:30am 
ah huh... now I'm wishing this game had a mod option config ingame that would also solve it all
Teax  [author] 4 Apr, 2023 @ 9:05am 
If the modded shields does not fit you, make a local copy of the mod and modify the value for the hp as you wish :)
Torkkar 4 Apr, 2023 @ 8:06am 
ok but by that logic then Angled ships will have less defence with this mod as the angle shield is the only one that fits that design well or like my current ship its a flat faced Brute so wide it needs 2 straight shields at the front just to cover it I've not even begun the sides yet lol as the ships still growing. but still I do see the logic in the shields you view as being the sides & rear of the ship sadly not everyone views the shaped shields in this way I myself view all the shapes as interchangeable segments hence they shouldn't be weaker than another...

Perhaps something could be done so the angle of the shields "top" would determine total shield hp in relation to the facing direction of the Primary cockpit (IE the first one placed) sadly in a perfect world both options would be possible

@madjenkins2455
dunno if its even possible and it sounds too op, rock paper scissor. EMP beats Shields, if you make shields who blocks EMP you just place a normal Shield behind it and are nearly invulnerable

@Torkkar
its more for a technical reason, i would prefer to make the shield in the middle stronger and weaker on the sides, due to the reason the sides a further away from the shield generator. Shield Power loss due to the distance.
Torkkar 3 Apr, 2023 @ 8:25pm 
so why are the straight & angled shields only 28,500 & the Regular curved advanced shield 30,000? shouldn't they all be 30,000?
madjenkins2455 15 Feb, 2023 @ 3:48am 
i have an idea for a shield but i don't know how to mod. the sun shield, blocks emp and the sun but is weak to everything else. you could park a station right around the sun. thoughts?

I understand what you want, in classic there was a armor shield mod which puts a shield on armor with a central controller, its not available for the steam vers. https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/9142-shape-adaptive-shields-mod
I dont know what switchy's shield mod did or how it looked.
Ill keep my shields from this mod here als close to vanilla as possible to not alter the intended game mechanics too much.
Maybe as the game grows, someone will make a similiar mod
Torkkar 26 Nov, 2022 @ 10:20am 
no there was 1 & THAT ASS keeps puting the mod up & taking it down.
Curren't "Bubble" shields are the vanilla Berriers with 360 coverage NOT what Switchywicks bubble Shield was & not what I'm looking for.

A TRUE Bubble shield is featured in Starwars/Startrek/Halo/Starcraft/Mass Effect. A CENTRALISED STRUCTURE that encloses the ship in a 360 degree "BUBBLE" of shield protection.

this is what I'm looking for a Shield Bubble that can cover the entirety of my ship from a central/offset position not on the hull, & not require more crew than necessary to power the ONE system this mod as is requires A LOT of power to go all over the ship there's no efficiency & forget building a huge battleship as its going to need more crew devoted to it than any other systems.

a Centralised shield system just makes more sense problem with all the ones out there currently though they are not big enough to do the job
Teax  [author] 26 Nov, 2022 @ 9:47am 
I dont see any purpose in a bubble shield and there a plenty of mods for that available :)
Torkkar 26 Nov, 2022 @ 9:45am 
Needs a Bubble shield

@rojogames371:
maybe the mod thrusters i use from GA with more power are helping. But let us keep the comments about this mod please.

@collos:
some mods try to keep the game balance, some mods are just op mods to make the game easier. I like the vanilla game balance but it lacks at the moment at variety.

In the future i may add different large shield gens which are real upgrades to the small shield gens. (i.e placing it behind the hull but are bigger and stronger)

@Sap:
i understand your confusion, which shield gen u use its first your personal preference and second it depends on your own ship.
straight and angled shields covering a wider area while the round arc has more hp and can cover the bow of your ship better while the straight arc may be more suitable for the stern.
Abrasyve 21 Nov, 2022 @ 9:04pm 
This is a certified english moment.
Sap 21 Nov, 2022 @ 7:52pm 
Dont understand why one wuld use this tipe of a shield ?? as you need to split the damage between meany shields from emp atacks to keep you shield front up, if you only got 1 on the side and the emp kills it you got nothing and then you vanrable,, im confused lol
Colios 21 Nov, 2022 @ 5:00pm 
It really is a combination of old modular shield mod "small shields" with the additional angles of the update. The update added "large shields" and made the "small shields" worse ^^.

They renamed their shields "advanced" too in the update. Costs on materials and CP were raised too. Original shields also had -10.000 penetration.

The Straights were really straight btw and not slightly curved like yours.

Just noticed the insane shield strength. Seems to get a promising alternate to the first mod.

H o w .
Teax  [author] 21 Nov, 2022 @ 9:01am 
Its now 6 and no ;D its stable and it turns fast as fuck :D
rojogames371 20 Nov, 2022 @ 8:04pm 
Uh.
4 deck cannons on a ship that size is going to yeet it in every direction.
Teax  [author] 18 Nov, 2022 @ 3:46am 
Tested the shields several hours on full blasting them with all (even modded) weapons. I think there is no arc bug at all, saw the discussion. If u look close at a shield gen there is a second arc right infront of it. that needs to be changed too :)
Neo 18 Nov, 2022 @ 3:41am 
so im not the only one who mixed up the two mod i see :D btw good to see that there is no shield arch bug
Kivie_Dos 17 Nov, 2022 @ 8:57pm 
@kerilian, it's just name
Unsichtbarer Kant 17 Nov, 2022 @ 12:59pm 
@kivi_Dos your link sadly is not really a "modular" shield, its just more different shapes :( :D
Teax  [author] 17 Nov, 2022 @ 11:30am 
No its More Shields, seems his mod is similiar. Just use the mod u prefer :)
