This should definitely be an Amarrian item.
Could look a little like this.
Probably a Primary Weapon. I say this so there would be justification to make it a powerful and fun play style, rather than an equipment like tool.
I liked True's idea of it just absorbing a % of any damage that hits it, so that only a small percentage would reach the user.
Perhaps 66%? Seems high at first, bit remember that it only works to absorb fire coming from in front, and reduces you to only hipfiring a sidearm.
And some high alpha damage weapons, or splash damage weapons, would still be sending a lot of damage through the shield.
The feet and head would be pretty exposed most of the time, but would become barely visible if the user crouches.
Someone's gotta tell the stupids that their ideas are bad, and I guess it's my job...

To me, this is just more of a reason for the shield to block a percentage of damage, and reduce mobility.
Strafing scouts are already a problem for hit detection, and you expect that strafing scout that you can't damage would be OK? That would be practical god-troll mode.
"Jumping around and strafing" is not something an Amarrian item would be used for. At all. It would be a stand and deliver tool/weapon. It would be heavy and it would slow you down, not provide you with invincibility as you jump across them map like a ******.

I mean, I only thought of the gal/cal versions, I guess I can also do all races with an amarr shield being you SUPER tanker SUPER slow regen so that it can be heavy and provide a more stand and deliver type of use. The MINMATAR could have a shield that is very weak but regens so fast. Our hit and run type of thing. I'll provide my art of my ideas and post them. As well as a spread sheet some time this week. I haut want info from CCP if they like this and if it can be added in the future
There probably would only be 1 of them, if any. I wouldn't get your hopes up for it even happening, much less 4 racial ones. I mean sure, its fun to theorize how these things could be...
And really, if there is ever a physical shield item added, it would be Amarrian.
