Dual stargate shields.

JollyRodger

ZPG + two stargate shields equals unkillable.
one or the other will have to get a nurf unless all admirals are to be gods... and i have 8 hours to admiral think about changing the maximum stargate shield number to one please

wasn't there a plan to make it so that to get a ZPM you would have to mine resources to construct one?

I have been contemplating this for a while. Though not for gameplay reasons, but... The way stargates work is rather complicated, and it has to do it for each and every prop in your ship.

In other words, using the shields is surprisingly laggy. One of them usually sucks up plenty of Server resources, but two? I dunno. I'll have to do some testing to see how demanding this is.

you can only have one on at a time.....

the reason i like having two sg shields is because i have an e2 that when shield 1 goes down shield 2 comes on when shield 2 goes down shield 1 comes on....... i dont have two shields on at once it dosent allow you to have two on at the same time

also sence i know the sg shield is a bitch on the server
there is a nice shield in a different addon called the Contraption Damage Engine http://contraptiondamageengine.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
im not talking about there dome shield im talking about there contraption hull shield
it puts a flat shield around your props there dome shield is nice and its dosent lag
you guys could make something like the shields in this addon to replace the sg shield

Hmm.. That sounds like it might be useful. I might look at it, and see if Dubby can work it into the system.

I know SG shields are cool and all, but they are.. difficult. A non-laggy solution would be epic.
