Shields

[Professor Fenway]

New Shield Idea; Ionic Plasma Shield

Mid-Tier
This shield uses Super-Heated Plasma, combined with Ionic Gasses, in order to create an effective shield. This is held in place with a strong magnetic/ electric field.

-Vaporizes Most Projectiles, which then adds to the shield's strength.

-Dissipates energy weaponry, as it heats up the plasma further.

-Multiple units can be used to create multiple Plasma Barriers, but at an exponential energy cost.

It requires a large amount of energy on startup, and then a constant amount of energy afterward. Disadvantages;

-MAC rounds are only partially melted by one barrier, making it more dangerous.

-Explosives tend to dissipate the Plasma momentarily where it hits, creating an open window for attack.

-If the shield unit loses power, the Plasma may stick to your ship and cause severe damage. Shut it down properly, please.

Other info:

-Hits taken do not add to energy cost

-Dissipated Energy Weapons can actually power the shield, reducing the amount of energy required

-The plasma does not interfere with sensors or communication.

This shield is a good all-around shield, especially for military ships. It can be a suitable shield, plus the multi-layer feature allows for extra protection.

What about if you have a Void Shield about to go through your ship?

You know how I said your sensors don´t work when void shield active?
With your ramming enemy blind, dodging will be simple.

[Shadowcatbot]

Turn it on where you will have just enough time for the sheild to solidify before hitting the ship.

Good point.
Getting even further balanced now...

Erm... I read through the Idea, and it looks a little bit OP for a mid-tier shield.
Please decrease pros or increase cons (e.g. default energy usage is high, requires plasma gas to run as well as projectors on the hull of the ship. Actually, I´m gonna add that now.
