I seriously hope it will be as fun, as original X-COM. Without unnecessary simplifications.
I will crush your hope before you get any more "hoping". This game is going to be the simplest tactical game ever. It should not be even named X-COM. That just confuses old fans. Old X-COM and this one wont have even one common thing. Except for title.
Display MoreAre you ready for "Field Fusion" ???

Now you have crossed the border of awesomeness.
Wait, so now we can build illusionary buildings without using blocks.
I got another idea. Illumination upgrade for cube and sphere projectors. Basically, creates full light inside the field.
You people are evil. You want to extract and than compress zombies in to practical items. It sounds like some fake WW2 propaganda.
Would it be possible to just give zombies a drop chance for leather?
Already discussed. There is an config option to ensure safety of oil sources.
We have noticed 2 bugs regarding quantum suit while playing on a server.
1. While speed running on ice blocks and using boosted jump you go so fast that server kicks you for hacking 
2. After returning from nether to overworld, first boosted jump results in ongoing acceleration. You go up faster and faster until server kicks you for hacking. The jump lasts just half a second before kick but the acceleration is still noticeable.
I forgot about NEI fix for IC2. It should be somewhere on IC2 forums. It might be the reason why you are getting crushes now.
Install NEI and use the cheat mode in survival. You will see all items and blocks and will be able to spawn anything for testing.
Advanced cube upgrade, thanks for that 
My bad than. I did not check it against mobs.
Someone earlier wanted a better defense against quantum armor users. Well, just change in server config power to 1000000 It kills anything instantly.
You can link a defense station to security station so tesla coil attacks only unwelcome quests. You do not need a force field to be up for this. Check out Direwolfs video again.
Hi. I play with few friends on a private server and we use those shields for many different purposes. We noticed that even through cube projector is easy to make, it is not that much useful to us. And that is because it has a fixed length in all dimensions. I know, that is because it is a "CUBE" projector. The things we usually try to shield has various shapes. So we have to use deflector projectors to make a specific shape of the field.
So, I wanted to suggest an upgrade to "Cube" projector or even new kind of projector that would create a cube shaped field but with a possibility to modify lengths of chosen dimensions.
That way we could shape a field to fit our needs as if it was made with deflectors but also, we could install all the upgrades that a "Cube" projector can.
So a player could set it to generate a field for example:
4 blocks W, 6 blocks N, 8 blocks E, 2 blocks S, 7 blocks UP and 2 blocks DOWN.
Ah! I was using the 1.2.5 + IC2 1.95 download, I tried the Forge 1.18+ download and it works now! If you hadn't posted, I would have never tried again and found my mistake. Thanks!
You welcome
Actually, while the mod works fine in singleplayer, it does NOT work in multiplayer. Sad, because one of the best reasons for this mod is to cut down serverside lag (which is why I want it). Looking forward to the new version, whenever that may be!
I use this mod in multiplayer with IC2 1.97 and did not experience any problems with arrays.
Also you can try "Thermal expansion" mod for Buildcraft. There is a pump like machine that produces water with out draining source blocks.
In older version it was a common bug for the field to not appear on existing world in smp. How ever everything worked fine on fresh world. I generated a new world on my server after installing the mod and force fields work fine.
Just try it on the fresh world.
Thanks, problem resolved.
I found 2 little bugs in the mod.
1. FF Generator Core EU-Injector requires 2 "Uninsulated copper cables" instead of Insulated once.
2. After breaking field projector it drops blank card instead of coded one. But maybe it was intended.
Those are bugs on client side. Did not check it in SMP yet.

I tried latest forge 151 and have the same error.
Am I missing something?
Hi.
First of all I'd like to thank you for making this mod. I have a personal grudge against bukkit and this mod makes thing a lot more interesting.
I was thinking about more PVP oriented version of this mod. What would you say about making an offspring version with 1 minor change?
It's all about how force field is activated. Right now you can activate the field any time, no matter how much energy you have stored. But to make it more PVP appealing I would suggest to put 1 limitation to this. Make it so the field can be activated only when there is a certain minimum amount of energy stored (like 50% of total capacity). With that someone would be able to actually weaken the field so it breaks and have some time to walk inside of it.
As I said, just a little change for PVP oriented servers.
