Directed Shield Module

I don’t know why, but so far with all the shield types we have currently, there’s not one that just works in the direction you’re aiming. And don’t say Frontal shield. I mean the direction the crosshairs are pointed in.

Seems like it would make an interesting module.

 

Name: Directional Shield

Type: Active Module

Cooldown: 3s

Energy consumption: 250pts/s

Shield distance from ship: 650m

Description: Projects a large flat barrier in the direction of the crosshairs that consumes a large amount of energy while active. Can be used to protect nearby allies as well. The shield is impenetrable while active, but if the user runs out of energy while it is active they take thermal damage and the cooldown is multiplied by a factor of 10.

Very interesting module here.

 I also want to know if it also blocks aoe damage like tactical nuke and target damage module like plasma web.

No shields like this block explosion damage like that unfortunately. I’d imagine it would block effects that require lockon though, like the engineer barrier.
