Re: Shield Grenade isn't a full bubble
Posted By: Captain Kirk <tkirk37@hotmail.com>Date: 12/5/06 4:00 p.m.

In Response To: Shield Grenade isn't a full bubble (Ciarán)

: Take a look at this screen grab:

: The "panels" of the shield are smaller at the back, and don't fully
: overlap. He throws the grenade in front of him and the shield extends
: backwards, so it looks like there's more cover at the front, but gaps at
: the back. Maybe it's artistic licence, but it looks more like game balance
: to me :)

: Plus, it's definitely a Mongoose that gets blown to bits.

: Ciarán.

Hypothesis: Perhaps the device detects the massive amount of energy from the incoming plasma, and directs it's energy to blocking that threat rather than protecting equally along the whole sphere. i.e, the 'detonator' of the shield mechanism has a sensor that might read energy levels or radiation levels? You never know, those ONI Section-III guys are ninjas. It's possible they made a specifically anti-plasma weapon shield.
