Redstone's Diffusion Shields Mod

Ultranova

CaptainRedstone It's easy to spam Electro Turrets boi

CaptainRedstone

Ultranova But would electro turrets even be able to hurt the shield?
Dangit, that gives me an idea... A shield that physically takes no damage, but can only be turned on for 10 seconds, and has like a 30 second cooldown

Catelyn

is it physically possible to keep a tier 7 shield on?
like, seriuously!

CaptainRedstone

Catelyn It has been done with other mods before... If you want to power them with just this mod active, then simply turn them off until the ship enters a battle. They won't be sustained, but will start at full power, and therefore last a little while

LukaszLutek

CaptainRedstone I used them with mod adding diffrent sized reactors... I coudn't use them with the biggest one. What mod should be able to power them?

Catelyn

LukaszLutek drones++ large drone cores

LukaszLutek

Catelyn Yea right cores...

[Announcement]
Alright, though not a lot of people are expecting this, there will probably be an update to this mod soon!

The update will add in new ships to bounty hunter, and should hopefully work in tandem with all of the other BH mods out there.
Also, if I can actually find someone to help sprite stuff I will finally be changing the tier tabs from solid white, and be giving them an actual texture.

If anyone has other ideas for the mod that might go in this update (because it might be the last, except for compatibility patches), or wants to contribute a ship to the bounty hunter library, please tell me! (Ships must only use diffusion shields, and vanilla parts, though that should go without saying)

If you do want to contribute a ship, please consider that in order to be added, it will have to look descent, match the vanilla scheme, and most importantly, cannot be extremely strong. Ships in bounty hunter are intentionally weak so that inexperienced players don't have an extremely difficult time playing the easiest mode. These new ships are supposed to pose a challenge, but are not going to be tourney-level OP.

CaptainRedstone How did you make your shields invisible?

CaptainRedstone

RedAndCosmoteer Pretty easy. The shield color value is in the form RGBA, so all you have to do is set the last value to 0, and bam, you have invisible shields

Bevan

CaptainRedstone i've been loving this mod since i first used it (specially the invisible ones), my only problem is that its just too strong for any kind of weapon

CaptainRedstone

Bevan Not any kind of weapon. Electro-bolts still severely damage these shields. I am also considering adding a shield-busting weapon, like a much more powerful electro bolt, to go along with the mod. Would that be something you guys want?

Ultranova

CaptainRedstone yes

Bevan

CaptainRedstone yes yes

CaptainRedstone

Welcome back to, Redstone can't sprite anything! (insert applause track here)

With all seriousness though, I could really use some help here, or this will end up being the final sprite set : P
Still better than blank I suppose

RedAndCosmoteer

CaptainRedstone That looks way better than a white thing!

Ultranova

CaptainRedstone They're not that bad!

CaptainRedstone

Ultranova They will do, but they hardly match the rest of the vanilla icons at all. The only real similarity is the color, and transparency

Bevan

CaptainRedstone do other modders even apply that anymore?

CaptainRedstone

Bevan Dunno. I try to make it as accurate as possible, but I am quite obviously not good at that sometimes

Bevan

CaptainRedstone you workin on that boosted electro bolt hybrid to take down your shieds?
