N12 – Energy Shields V1.0

Craftable Energy Shield systems inspired by the energy shields from Halo. Join my discord server for more info/support and to keep up to date with future projects and updates.

This mod adds craftable Energy Shields that can be installed on any standard modifiable apparel. This shield system was heavily inspired by the Energy Shields found in Halo which offers a layer of protection withstanding incoming damage acting as an outer layer of defense, absorbing damage from weapons such as bullets, energy blasts, and explosives before the actual armor or body of the wearer is affected.

The shields can only withstand a finite amount of damage before they fail exposing the wearer to harms way. Make sure to get to cover to allow the shielding systems to recharge before reengaging. If you’ve played Halo before, you will understand how this works but it is easy to pick up.

Be careful when fighting enemies equipped with EM weapons as these will disrupt the shields leaving the wearer vulnerable.

-Crafting-

There are three research tiers to study/unlock, each with there own additions to the crafting system.

- Tier 1

This will unlock the ability to craft Prototype shields to attach to apparel, these shields are the weakest and will fail the quickest.

- Tier 2
This will unlock the ability to craft optimized shields which are greatly improved.

– Tier 3
This will allow you to craft modules that can be equipped along side the optimized shield systems granting the wearer different unique perks to the shielding systems. Only one module can be installed at a time.

The shields have been designed to work on any character equipped with the Energy Shield modifications.

-Modules-
There are currently 4 modules you can install at research level 3 along side the optimized shields.

– Atmospheric Protection.
This will engage the energy shields if the wear steps into a hostile environment with out the proper protection equipped providing minimal protection against the elements at the cost of shield efficiency. The more hostile the environment the harder the shields will work and the easier they will fail during combat.

– Enhanced Durability.
This will greatly improve the amount of damage the shields can withstand before failing.

– Enhanced Recharge Rate.
This will improve the recharge rate of the shields.

– Electromagnetic Protection.
This will protect against electromagnetic weapons making the shields capable of withstanding EM damage and remain intact.
