Shields would really help with cover on the very open maps.
It could be a device that projects out burning plasma, and is molded into shape by an electric field. Or they can work like regular shields work.
Shields can be equipment:
It could be an equipment that you can deploy 4 of during a battle.
You should get war points every time a teammate is shot at while behind the protection of your shield.
These shields should be destructible.
Shields as weapons:
Shields could be light weapons that can be held while advancing (or even running) for more mobile defense.
Team members advancing with you, and being protected behind your shield as it takes enemy fire should get you war points. This would help squad cohesion.
Shields should have to reload energy cells.
EDIT:
Recently a shield ability on a Halo vid. Tried to google a pic of it for this thread, but also found a deployable shield. Anyway, something like these would be cool:

. You mean like a riot shield in CoD? That's actually a neat idea.
Yes, I suppose like CoD. |

Zat Earthshatter wrote:Fine and dandy for Caldari tech. but what about other races? Amarr: Active-laser barrier. A holographic targeting "wall" that locks incoming attacks for a high-power variable laser to defeat near-instantaneously. Other lasers are stopped using the principle of wave interference. Most damage types are halted, but KN munitions can still work to a degree after the laser melts them. Gallente: Nanite shield. An evolution of the shield, this design uses a thinner (read: cheaper) plasma barrier, used only to hold nanobots, the same kind as found in starship armor repairers. Those nanites do the exact same job, blocking most attacks, but being put into disarray by the concussive force of an Exp weapon. Minmatar: Instant-hardening foamWorks exactly as described in EVElopedia, applied to deployable cover. The foam works wonders against most damage types, but is vaporized more quickly by munitions with a Therm component.
Those would be awesome. |

The armor ones could be manufactured on the spot and maintained by a swarm of nanites deployed from some kind of equipment. |

This is a good idea, and would be a genuinely useful tool. I hope CCP reads this thread. |

*Throws a small device on the ground, and watches a swarm of nanites flow out of it, and rapidly manufacture a large self-repairing wall of destructible cover* |
