DUST Search - remote shiled rep tool concept

having a rep tool that does this is a bit pointless when you can already achieve under a second of down time

delays do not equal to reps, even if they were implemented sentinels still would only rep at 30 per second with stacked shields and would get annihilated due to not being able to rep trough damge like armor does not to mention that armor suits have higher base and higher potential ehp in most cases

a cal sent with stacked rechargers would still need to take cover for a few seconds to rep back up to full while an armor suit is able to rep while taking damge

even at 0 delay reps would not initiate due to them taking damge and the fact that its reps per second not incremental, so taking any more damge then that of the threshold makes them have to wait for regen

now an alternative could be a tool that increases thresholds so that only high damge weapons could stop the regen but that still has its complications and is not very practical it also makes it abusive able in some cases depending on how its implemented

I just dont see much potential in other concepts and I dont want to simply copy the armor repper over to shileds

this is just a concept tho and its all my own opinion I think it would work well and would be a unique play style that is inspired by EvE

Probably 50/75/100%. So, not a real repper, but it'd help. G Commando/Sentinel, A Assault/Logistics, M Scout - Terrible FPS gamer - Decent Strategy gamer - Good RPG gamer

This, at proto level, would allow shield to regent as armor does, but at its naturally higher rate. And as it is not physically fixing anything, just overriding the safety of the targets shield generators, it could have a longer range. Also means people with a logo around could pop out a suit without regulators, using biotic, armor, or any other low module. And for some suits a basic models 50% can be more than 3 seconds difference, especially if they used an extender.
