So this would be a shield like an energy shield, and a heat shield..
itll be an invisibility shield where you activate it and you're mostly invisible but you can sort of see you.. like the movies if you get my meaning.. besides the point...
you get a slight defense because the enemy mech can hardly see you etc.. this couls be one shield level or many giving various degrees of invisibility etc..
It makes sense mechs ha e the technology to do invisibility... anyways vote on the main idea please ill help fix this later...

I don't really see a need for a new shield type and I see a major major issue in this already, what is your energy source for it which can be depleted?

Good reminder if you over heat.. run out of energy as in both.. or one or the other... lose a lot of hp could turn it off etc.. theres lots of options.. etc

So the shield would negate damage from your hp by shielding it with your hp? For the other 2 options then you are just suggesting a visual change to be invisible then?

That point wasnt imporrtant.. this shield could use heat and energy if either one overheat or run out.. it turns off or it could only run a set number of turns etc as i said there are lots of options.. and i tried to explain how it would look..

Lol nice one. But the heat and energy shields basically do the same. Im resisting heat damage by giving myself heat damage. Or likewise with energy

(Facepalm) thats what the other shields do so dont give me that.. sort of a medium shield.. but you guys are focusing on something not as importan t-_-

I'm voting no. Go as invisible as you like, I still only get the option to click the weapons which are in range of you
