About The Pull Request
Why It's Good For The Game
It gives a good way for people who use melee to close distances against opponents who use ranged weaponry
It has the following statistics:
120 shield health
Recharges 2 health every second, as long as its shield is not broken
If its shield is broken it takes 60 seconds to start recharging, EMP resets the timer
If you have it on, you will block any ranged projectiles but wont be able to shoot any weapons yourself
To obtain it you need to research a brand new node that takes 1000 generic research, locked behind advanced weapons and anomaly reserach, then print it using iron/titanium/uranium and add in a flux core to finish it off.
There's also archotech shield belts that have 450% the shield capacity, do not accept a flux core and cannot recharge. Admin-only
