Seymor Krelborn DUST University Ivy League 1069	Posted - 2013.11.02 00:28:00 - [1] - Quote how cool would that be if instead of using an orbital you could spend squad wp on a shield against them? discuss.
zibathy numbertwo Nox Aeterna Security 249	Posted - 2013.11.02 00:53:00 - [2] - Quote it would require there actually being an enemy squad... idk... it would have to do more than just block orbitals. I think it would have to, like... make a bubble that can't be shot through for like 30 seconds or something. this could be useful for ****** forge gunners and sniper tanks and snipers who just camp the hacking spot and OHK anyone who tries to hack it Long Live Freedom; Long Live the Federation.
Tanis Jumes Thors Guard Adventures The Council of Yggdrasil 61	Posted - 2013.11.02 01:06:00 - [3] - Quote this would be nice to have, especially in the spawns or red-lines where camping is a real problem. If it were timed it would be pointless, the enemy would just wait for it to dissapear and then SPLAT!

As far as lore is concerned, it's possible to have a "skyfire defense system" that can protect you from orbitals, but that would be over the span of an entire battlefield.

Cosgar ParagonX 6998	Posted - 2013.11.02 01:50:00 - [6] - Quote I'd like to use WP to request instillations, CRUs, turrets, and other off map support modules. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 4878	Posted - 2013.11.02 02:13:00 - [7] - Quote Didn't CCP mention they are going to implement bubble Shields soon? CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.

Is that referring to anti-orbital shields or the deploy-able infantry shield barriers we were supposed to get a long time ago?

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 1716	Posted - 2013.11.02 07:34:00 - [11] - Quote What about a weapon that worked only when the user is standing in an orbital. Make it a sidearm, and when an orbital is called on top of you, you take it out and it absorbs the energy which was meant to kill you, and this charges up the weapon's ammunition, filling 1 clip of devastating bullets, like an extremely powerful scrambler pistol. > "I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

Do you not understand what a Skyfire Battery is? It doesn't prevent orbital bombardments, it just attacks starships. I think there was an old British war quote, "the bomber will always get through". Well, it's true in Dust 514, too. Skyfire Batteries just make it more costly to bombard. Humanity is the personification of change.

I just think a mechanic with a orbital deflection shield, regardless of what you call it, would be cool. do you think it would be cool? if so, what would you call it? how would you implement the mechanics?

I just think a mechanic with a orbital deflection shield, regardless of what you call it, would be cool. do you think it would be cool? if so, what would you call it? how would you implement the mechanics? A field that helps protect against orbital bombardment is actually an interesting idea. I have my own spin on it, though, as a defensive structure (not a call-in). It would be for planetary conquest, mostly, not public contracts. Basically, you can install the shield emitter if you control the district. When someone you don't like tries to bombard the district, the shield activates temporarily. The shield will either reduce the accuracy or power of the bombardment, or stop the bombardment outright. The shield wouldn't activate if bombarded by a ship that has security access to the district, so be careful of backstabbers. Humanity is the personification of change.
CLONE117 Planetary Response Organization Test Friends Please Ignore 442	Posted - 2013.11.02 22:52:00 - [17] - Quote there is such protection that exists in game currently. its called being under the roof of a building.
