Cybran Shield Generator

Postby VoiceofReason » 14 Apr 2013, 17:46

Something I've always wanted;
The ability to select which Edition I want to upgrade the Cybran T2 Shield Generator to - instead of clicking it 4 times, or 2, or how many ever to achieve the desired ED. (Sometimes very painful, depending on what's happening in game, and lesser PC's have even worse of a time achieving this; can be quite sluggish and laggy before the icon changes and you can actually select the next upgrade)

In the same spot where you already click to upgrade the shield, you could place a row of 4 icons instead with labels, " ED2, ED3, ED4, ED5." When you select the given ED level it begins its sequence of upgrades till it reaches desired ED.


Is this possible? Any thoughts, ideas or comments?

This has my support. I agreed with this. It does lag a little when clicking so many times. ED5 ftw.

If this is a wish list, i'd like to have upgradeable shields for Aeon.

buy better pc and/or

and no because of faction diversity, why:

say u have 4* Cybran T2 Shield Generator ED1 around your commander and you select last upgrade Cybran T2 Shield Generator ED5
but u pause the upgrade at 99%. you can trick enemy into attacking you showing u have 4*4000 shield around your commander
opponent sends just enough bombers/tml/army/whatever to break shield and kill you but no because you finish upgrade on shields and suddenly Shield Generator ED5 4*15000 shield around commander.

so better find a mod for this or make or ask some1 to make.
or play other faction who are actually allowed to do this.( i know you wont )
this is what is called faction diversity

I think you missed the point. This isn't a gameplay change, the cybran are still going to have to upgrade their shields 4 times doing one upgrade at a time. This is a ui change to automatically continue to upgrade the shields.
