amazing.

Schweet. Thanks!

Aww, you're tweaking the visual shield effect? I like it. My first reaction when I saw it was "Hey, the Leviathan is carrying a flag!"

Good call making the shield visual appear only when fired at. That was my first wish when I initially saw the shields. If they ever become toggle-able, you should make some sort of other visual indication so we know whether they are on or not.

And are all the recharge rates going to be reduced or just the Queen? Can you give any specific info on this? Maybe respond to me and LostCommander's specific suggestions here:

If there's a toggle to see if the shields are on, it should be an indicator in the HUD. Shields should only be visible when something hits them, and if there's no indicator in the HUD, it should be no problem figuring it out by simply shooting.

Pssst. Check above the Queen's health bar when you have it targetted. Notice the blue bar?

Yeah.. there's been a HUD indicator since we added shields.

Good call, moldy. I didn't know about it since I haven't played in quite some time. There've been a lot of good announcements lately, that make me wish I could. I would definately buy myself a month of game time, except that I can't use it because my apartment (and most of my friends', too) have stupid firewalls to limit such things. I need to spend more of my time studying anyway....

Well my initial comment was regarding a non-HUD indicator, in other words something you can see even if the ship is not selected on your radar. It's not really a big deal though.

Maybe a big sign on the side, like they do with student drivers. Oh, hey, how about a student driver sign for newbies?
