    INSTALIKE!

    Honestly Squishy you will be a god to me if you implement a working shield gen.
    Although as I suggested before, try out some new non bubble related mechanics if you can, like bomb bouncer style shield.

    Also I request that you make the shields a minimod separate from Statera (even though stateras pretty good). Just so I can run it alongside orbital warfere.

    No orbital warfare integration unfortunately due to one of our devs being a hater. Yes i'm looking at you @emraldis

    i'm fine with wall shields, as long as they're just that, a wall, but shields in general tend to either be pointless or OP. What squishy's making is a bubble shield that does what the sniper does to tactical missiles. Except to everything. Not fun in my books.

    Hey squishy. Would it be possible to make a bomb bouncer/umbrella style shield by just limiting the structures firing arc so that it just fires in a cone shape above it?

    If this works you must credit me for the idea. :)

    T2 fabbers build it, but it has no icon yet, so look very closely in the build menu and hover your mouse over it.

    It'll work fine in PTE. It just shadows unit files, nothing too serious. :p

    So just so that everyone is aware, once the unit cannon comes out, we are VERY probably going to be making the teleporter much more expensive than it is now.

    Just wanted to tell you guys to welcome @Crembels to the team.
    He will be doing the concept art for us to work off of, which is an immense help. (before I just created random models till I got something half decent).

    Here is an example of one of the recent concept pieces that he has done for us.

    And here is my progress on the orbital teleporter model so far.

    EDIT:
    As usual every model I post is subject to change and all feedback is welcome.

    Awesome when do you guys think you'll be implementing it into the game because I just saw the update didn't add it. Also not to sound like a blithering idiot or ask for to much but I think something like a fighter carrier (carries avengers and wraiths) and something like a ground to space carrier would be cool (carries like 25 dox's or something) because things like the Astrateus are only good for like a commander or fabricators and even that's bad because the chance of a single avenger sniping you is so high its not worth it and just clicking one by one to load up some 25 Astrateus is a monumental waste of time when you could be doing two million better things with your time. Sorry I know it was a rant but I was trying to sell the idea.
