I would still like to see the deployable shield idea come to fruition. It makes more sense with caldari's shoot and cover style. I think a big issue with the caldari play style is lack of cover in a lot of the maps. This would bring a whole new element to dust, and give callogis an equipment worth having.

I would disagree that Caldari is built for siege warfare.

If you look at Eve you will see that Caldari ships are built for sustaining long battles at range with a mix of speed and a lot of advanced technologies. In reality this is far more conducive to guerilla warfare.

When you bring that comparison down to Dust you see that the same basic principles were applied in the form of speed, shield regen, and mid to long range weaponry. When you add the fact that their equipment is based around quickly establishing a temporary base and keeping everyone alive and fighting as long as possible this points even more to the fact that they are built to hit and run.

If anyone is built for siege warfare it is the Amarr with their high armor tank.



As far as the nanohive idea sorry but I have to vote no. This feels like a piece of equipment that no one would care to fit except for the guys that just use it as a crutch to be able to stack shield extenders in to next week.

I do think shields need to gain something in the line of equipment as everything is pretty centered around armor which kind of dumbs down who logis are going to stick around and what slayers are going to use for surviving the longest.
