You could always make the emitted shields inherit velocity, which would fixed most problems with moving quickly.

Except InheritsVel doesn't work with emissions from emitters.

Excuse me? A GM is never unwarranted.
Lookit that badass paint scheme! ♥♥♥♥♥ BE ORANGE!
And it's semi related; it's a form of mechanized infantry (albeit heavy on the mechanized) styled off of samurai armour. Thus, it is related to DS.
Also, it fires things from other things, which, put on a stick, is the essence of a turret.

Why not an arc gun?


It would certainly fit the whole "Storm" theme (unlike some weapons).

That looks really overpowered and doesn't seem like it would make any sense in real life.

Just as a general idea off of the shields, how about something that auto-deploys a shield when it stops, like all those things that go into sniper mode when they stop? I mean, giving a moving ground unit a total shield would be problematic anyway, the bottom would drag into the ground unless you made the shield a tube (or two lines in 2d).

Man, I have no clue how that would work... but its certainly a neat balancing idea.

I don't believe for one second that you just said that, CandleJack. It's even more surprising that those are my thoughts exactly.

You mean like this;

yeah, problem would be it would ONLY make sense in real life if it WAS overpowered...

I think for the shield gun, it should just be a long rifle, which has a magnetic disruption device attached to the barrel (so it can pass through the shield unhammered), and just make him poke the gun through and shoot peeps.

WE could ask Azuki about his MOPixel shield, I still can't believe MOPixels can protect you from all of the other types of MOIDs

Azukki is god, I remember when he was but a noob.
Aah, I took an instant liking to him...

It will in B23 ; )

you teasing teaser. *waits for weekend*
i think having the sheild rape the user on the inside if it is breached that much would likely be a good thing. if the "shotgun" didnt do a graphical spray of mopixels, but used the flash for everything visual, that would be good. the damaging particles could be invisible. the only real issue is that the sheild in this case is not a sheild at all. it is just a volatile energy feild. maybe it could be used on the flux, if you ever use it.
at some point in there, i realised that the sheild has to be wounded to be overwhelmable, which would just rape the dude inside.

Well thank god. Then it really will be the superior method of having a gun fire more than one kind of thing per shot.
