removing shields? aint gonna happen.
but the armor reinforcement layer? hmmm...
Could be an addition for say, gas, storm or even Plasma-based planets.
Some Lore to start:
EVE wrote:Shields are, instead, absorptive energy fields. They "collect" energy directed at them above a certain threshold; if they simply collected all energy, a shielded ship would be unable to see out and would appear as a "hole" in the background of space. They have an upper limit to how much energy they can store at once. Explosions are the least-effective method of dealing with shields because they are naturally ineffective against materials that do not heat up or suffer from kinetic effects and suffer the worst of all worlds. Similarly, pure kinetic and thermal energies suffer minor degradations because both are wasting some of their power on things that do not affect the structure of the shield. Pure EM radiation on the other hand is crippling, as it interacts directly with the shield and will all be absorbed. Some wormhole environments offer further demonstration of this phenomenon, crippling shields with intense amounts of hard radiation.
K.A.R.
For environments when shield strength would be weaker due to outside influences such as storm and plasma-based planets, a viable replacement for shields under those circumstances would be Kinetic armor reinforcement. by completely replacing the shielding modules, Kinetic armor reinforcement( K.A.R.) re-routes drop-suit power towards a module designed to temporarily support, and on higher levels reinforce armor plating by diverting excess energy away from the user. |

We are fighting in New Eden. Therefore, this is what shields are:

I render your argument null and void  |
