Aegis, fourth ability with a twist

A new ability for aegis, shield beacon. It would be the fourth ability for aegis and here are it's properties:
*When you use this beacon, both beacons go to cooldown, so you can't use both, HP and Shield beacon.
*The beacon will give 20k (twenty thousand) shield per second for all group members, similar to the HP beacon. And it has the same range as the HP beacon. The ring that the beacon creates, will be blue.
Cooldown will be 2 minutes, similar to HP beacon.

+ It would give more strategy to the players and it would have the same amount of abilities as other ability-ships. (Citadel and Spearhead)
+The ability is not over-powered, because both beacons will go on cooldown when you use one.

 

I like it because of the double cooldown aspect.

Technically, using the HP pod and sab ammo is better, so the option of a shield pod is nice variety without extra power.

Good idea.

 

I am against this ability because Aegis abilities to heal its own shields and HP is more than enough this fourth ability would just make them more annoying and hard to destroy. Remember even if they cant use there repair they can still use per combo repair, there regular shield repair, plus tech items such as back up shields, Energy leech, and battle repair bot. Moth can be used to counter sheilds but these repair options make it hard even with moth and can very welldestroy chance of wining when aegis gains shields back.

 

they should add this ability to a new design like shields for the aegis. They already have a dmg and a exp/honor design so a shield design should come soon.

This is not overpowered. It might be pretty good for a normal aegis but if they added this to a new design that costs about the same as elite would be nice. And aegis arnt hard to destroy, unless you are a noob and dont' hit hard.

 

I love this ability The other ships have 4 so aegis should too right? Nice and balanced and you still have to stay in the same spot to get the shield, so idk what people would be afraid of...Don't like killing aegis's? Then go get one. They're really not OP as many people say. When I hunt in my goli, I haven't lost against an aegis yet.

 

Cool idea - i wouldn't mind with this being implemented ( only because of the set back - both pods going on cool down ), so i don't see how this would make the Aegis more overpowered, seeing as it would only make it gain more shield than HP.

 

Hp beacon gives more hp to group members what it gives to ship owner.

Does this Shield beacon have same feature ?
And what would be the amount given shield per second to owner ?​

 

no it do not give more. other rep give 40k per sec. to 1 ship you rep beacon give only 20k to every one in group and range.

 

Thats not what i askad about.

Hp Beacon gives 40k/sec. to group members and to ship owner only 20k/sec.

Does this Shield beacon give similarly shield?
? (Shield 20k/sec. to group members and 10k/sec to ship owner) ?​

 

lol... Hp pod don't give 40k/sec to no one. other Hp rep give 40k to only 1 ship like shield rep. do 15k to owner and 25k to 1 ship.
so here is your answer.

 

Hmm...

Then i may have been mistaken about that. Its been a while since i used aegis last time.

Anyways thanks for answer
​

 

Well, HP beacon gives the same amount to group members and you, so it will be the same. 20k/second

 

I like the Idea of a shield pod +1 from me.

 

OH HELL NO. Why you might ask? Because I said so, secondly the other ships suck so they have four abilities, the Aegis certainly doesn't need a fourth repairing ability.

 

Other ships suck only if you don't know how to use them.
On right hands even spearhead can be very hard opponent.​

 

Indeed but the Spearhead and Citadel are still awful lol, bottom line the Aegis doesn't need a fourth ability.

 

I like it because it gives good twist on game if this ship could have this kind of ability to give shield with beacon instead of hitpoints,
but only because both abilities go to cooldown at the same time.

It would be pretty cool also if there would be desingn, witch would have shield beacon instead of hitpoint beacon.

I really don't mind witch option would be eventually made true, but either of those options would be pretty cool.

But if someone does not like it I respect their opinions ​

 

You're funny. I've gone hunting many times in my spearhead. Don't have a citadel, but I'm sure it's an effective ship. I come to find that people only think the aegis is overpowered until they get one. For the record, if it's a shield beacon, then you can't run away while using it, so I don't see an issue.

 

I had an Aegis and it would be OP with this, you can't run while using it but it would still be a fourth freaking repair ability to troll with and make Aegis's even harder to kill.

 

Hey buddy, did you read the thread? It says when you use either one of the beacons, both will have a cooldown time activated, you can't use both beacons with in a few seconds.
