Hanger shields are extremly OP and abusable. You can make a ship almost impossible to destroy just by putting the command block inside a dual layer wall of "Hanger shields" at an extremly low cost.
You can even make a ship that solely uses "Hanger Shield" blocks for everything at a low cost, making them easy to spam.
This abomination is nearly unstopable if controlled by a human, and still quite good in the AI's use. And it's not even polished, does not have any armor what so ever, just "Hanger Shields".
There is some other issues I concerned: I hold a competition in our Chinese community, in which someone complained to me that it's too expensive and energy costive that they don't want to use it as a "hanger gate", that's why I lowed the shield regen as well as the cost.
I know it's somehow OP, at least it seems does, but in a fleet competition, how does this kind of design works remains a question, and it needs to be tested.
One problem is: scale 1 blocks can't be too tough since it's easy to be affected by explosive weapons.
Another problem is: I want it to be used in drone carriers, and be able to block a certain amount of incoming fires. If it's too expensive no one would want to use it to build carriers.
Based on my experience, it's not so tough, at least it can't stand against HEAVY cannons even one second.
If it is OP, a possible solution is to add weight. In this mod, weight means much. A ship which is too heavy can't maneuver fast, and is easier to be destroyed. As I have already make the drone launchers very heavy, it would be OK to make hanger gate also heavy.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, I'll check it.
The ship I posted above is OP, but only against ships with slightly more P count and smaller.
I could try making a battleship of sorts using this same method and see how it fares against heavy weapons. Of course I will add armor too as well, the "Hanger Shield's" OPness comes from thier low cost, lightness and high strenght of it's shielding, thus only usfull for escaping death for the most part.
I have made ships with the command block surrounded by the "Hanger Shields" with light thrusters on it so that when the ship itself is destroyed the command block can escape with reletive ease and it works a bit too well.
