Lord JayVizIon Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 exactly. getting into a shield can buy that damaged unit time and allow you to make a unit quite a bit more devastating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booya2020 Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Air units probably own sheilds. Just fly over to it and kill the power generators and BAM! No more sheilds. Incoming AT-AT's!!! "Target maximum firepower!" BOOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Droideka Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Originally posted by Paragon_Leon I think you overestimate the potential power of shields... with sufficient firepower, someone can actually destroy a shield while the power generator is still active.. and simply putting troops inside the shield (remember EP 1?) is an effective way to stop it as well... it's not that solid a defence in my opinion.. thats true but the shield was for the gungans who arent exactally the most advanced civ, but then there was also the rebel shield on hoth that lasted about 5 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thrawn Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 One thing for sure. You will need alot of anti-air by your shields, because I'm sure they'll be prome targets for aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kavam1 Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 Droideka the rebels on Hoth didn’t have full planetary shielding (shielding that covered the whole planet) they also didn’t have Full particle shielding, which allowed ATATs to be dropped, and a ground assault was started And a quick question so are shield just health/armor modifiers? I.e. just increase health and/or armor of a unit or can they be used as a mobile wall? I.e. you can put them up and people can’t come into the protected area of the shielding then you can build up under the shielding uninterrupted until the shields come down?

Guest Admiral Odin Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 I believe that they only increase hp of your units, and not act like walls (which is why they have walls in the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 If they acted like walls then how could you ever get through one? That would be way to unfair, especially with the Fambaas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
