Shield Extenders

[Karl913]

Been a while since l've posted here...

My idea is having a ship upgrade that makes it so any small ships in a small radius become 'invulnerable' and can only be damaged if: Enemy small ships inside the shield aswell, or the shields go down. Could also make it so when you do this, enemy small ships inside the shield ignores the shields of the battlecruiser, and also make it a toggle on the power console that costs the same amount of core damage as emergency shields.

cool! i would like another ability that it would supply shield strength to BC but makes it vulnerable but it can send power anywhere on the map, Wraiths can ping them and will show a different color if the ability is active so a separate hunt/battle could happen with that making the fights much more widespread and not just BC v BC only thing

Didn't it used to be like that in a sense? You used to be able to sit inside the BC and use it as protection in order to run in and out to tank with smalls, then heal. I like the idea, and it would be nice, and it is different since it works based on shields, not on BC hull/shields, but at the same time I don't think it can truly be implemented until small ships in the hanger retain their health when docking and regenerate at a slow pace.

Yes, it did. l had a bit of hesitation posting this for that very reason, but then l decided that l'd rather put it out there and get community feedback. l also specifically listed that enemy ships inside the field would ignore the shields.

l also agree with the fact that ships need to keep health when they dock. But l think that a wraith could be an easy counter for a strategy like that.
