Title: Additional armor / shield tech?
Post by: ptbptb on October 03, 2011, 04:18:13 pm

Could we have something better than Nanocomposite Armor further down in the tech tree? 

Or maybe an EM shield that gives some protection against charged particle weapons? (e.g. vs. Plasma & Particle weapons, but not against Kerrblade or Needler. You could stick it in the auxiliary slot where the Infra-red Goggles go).

Power armour is coming (http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php/topic,5278.60.html) at the very least. If memory serves, there will also be advanced versions of both the basic combat armour and the nanocomposite armour and a completely new line of jump/hover armours.

No shields will be included, the devs have been adamant about that (whether these kinds of energy shields or riot shields).
