[Suggestion] [ Addon Request] Forcefield / Shield Idea to extend PVP and even Open PVE Servers.

  • So my biggest dream for a long time and yes I know there is a expansion coming to IC so this might end up being more of a idea for addon makers is a shield mod. Yes I know there was one and now its opensource and the dev does not have time but it was a bit to large of a mod for such a simple use. So this idea is pretty much to create a fun pvp server for myself where you can have a base and feel protected but of course everything else is BYE BYE SAM lol.


    Here is a video of it in more depth:

    Just wanted to add a few more things:
    - Square shield is not a bad idea. This would probably save on cpu calculations.
    - It does not have to be a visual effect though it is a big bonus. As long you got something like a text event that says you hit someone forcefield or something like that would be nice but little more magic would be nice.
    - I love the fuel idea or power idea and think its a must. But I think it needs something extra so a MFSU/Solar Panel can't keep it running for life.


    Anyways love to hear other ideas from the rest of ya.,

  • technically this has been suggested before so...
    TIME TO WHIP OUT THE LURKERS REPEAT SUGGESTION SCORING SYSTEM :D:D:D


    thought out: 30/100 few details in the post and no hard numbers but did a good job explaining what he is looking for in the video
    presentation: 80/100 made a video to illustrate the idea
    uniqueness: 50/100 on the grounds that there are not a lot of force field suggestions to compare it against


    total score 160 a new record
    i'm +1 for this :thumbup:


    if you don't want to wait for some one to make this here are some existing tools that you may find useful
    1. computercraft with the ccholo peripheral can project solid self-replacing blocks while consuming ic2 power
    2. good old fashioned vanilla self repairing piston walls (but hooked up to a redpower reinforced stone factory)
    3. mystcraft (every user gets their own dimension to hide their stuff in)
    4. alblakas mod shop (pay alblaka to make this into an addon)

    true balance is impossible in video games the best one can hope for is to make it really hard to guess which of 2 choices are better.
    and remember kids "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF JOKES!"

  • 1. Looks cool though would prob run into a lot of issues with this one being complex. But as far as I know SSP only and not even 1.2.5 at this time. A really cool mod with another dev to busy in RL. Damn RL!
    2. This idea has been fun but on a PVP environment with so many advance toys it would never last unless if you were throwing zombies at it lol.
    3. I would rather have it all on 1 world.
    4. I have donated a couple times does that count :P No I rather not buy my way because many many great mods out there and I have donated a lot to them and I rather not lets say take sides and start paying out to one person but then feel bad not doing to the rest hehe. My server has been a pay a one time fee so I always used that money to donate out to the wonderful mod/plugin makers.


    But good ideas!
