redeyesandlonghair Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 To keep my comments in perspective, I will point out that I use FWE and MMM. I tried it out, and it's pretty darned powerful. It takes a real long time for the shield to actually drop. I was walking over mines and getting shot by a lot of raiders for several minutes before the shield dropped. After that it only took a few seconds for them to slaughter me. As it is now, the only way it really changes the game is that I basically have tons more hit points, which isn't particularly interesting. This was also at the level 1 version, I never bothered upgrading. I managed to get the shield to "energy to recharge 10,000". I'm also a bit confused as to how the shield actually works. Does it recharge on it's own, or only when you use energy cells in the menu? At one point it seemed like it was recharging on it's own... then it wouldn't recharge at all until I stuck energy cells in it. A bit of an explenation of the numbers involved would help me to gauge its performance. My suggestion would be to make the amount of the shield smaller, so it can take a few hits, maybe capped at an amount equivelant to 1 missile hit ( with different versions for vanilla and fwe ), and have a timer start after the last time the shield takes damage with the shield recharging rapidly after the timer runs out. So basically, you take hits... then after a few seconds if you don't take any hits, the shield rapidly recharges to full ( basically, how shields function in Halo; it's a system that promotes tactical gameplay ). The menu system is a bit cumbersome, though I suspect it's only that way because the mod is early in development. Adding a HUD element that shows the level of the shield would be helpful; having the shield suddenly run out without warning is quite a surprise, and it's annoying to have to go to the pip-boy to check where it's at. I like that it uses up energy cells, though having to go into the pip-boy to recharge it is a pain. Maybe create a container in the misc section that you can drop energy cells into that the shield will automatically use as it needs them? Similar to what the Pipboy Integrated Medical Package does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what the Pipboy Integrated Medical Package does which damage mult you use on fwe? 1x 2x 3xwhich base hpi recommned try with low base hp and high dmg multmaybe i will look on the pipboy IMPi updated with a timer that add a delay when get hit Edited February 9, 2012 by betto212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
