Shield Variants with Racial Perks and TechTree
If you want to be able to research the shields you need to select the perk at race creation.
The perk does not directly give techs like the other selectables in the section do.
The shield variants are:
– Heavy Shields (blue): triple cost, double size and strength
– Fast Recharge Shields (purple): triple cost, double size, half recharge timer (this time reduces even more at higher tech, recharges at double speed on class 1 and gets quite a bit faster on higher tiers
– Hardened Shields (yellow): triple cost, double size, double damage absorbtion
– Hyper Shields (red): 6x cost plus gets more expensive for higher tech shields, triple size, combines all of the above
– Light Shields (green): 3/4 cost, half size and shield strength
Also be warned: the Guardian is now sporting one of the big hyper shields so he won’t be going down as easily
The dragon got a smaller one of those and both hydra, eel, and squid got different shield variants, which makes them significantly more durable
It borrows slightly from Sunshine and Happiness’ mod (light and heavy shields, though it uses different values and art) and requires UCP and 5X
