Need to rework the shield mechanic

[infectedking]

Sick of seeing dirty plays like this that stop anyone from breaking into a single shield, What happens is they bash their own shield once every 40-50minutes while they're getting sieged (easy to bot it), then it makes the shield impenetrable since resets the timer needed in order to deal 5k an hour, maybe some sort of Smaller regen over time like a progressive amount, not 1hour wait, then if damage is dealt in that time then it resets timer.

I believe jorb has been discussing rewriting the shield mechanic entirely rather than fixing the current version atm.

Then the raiders need better planning for (which is possible)

I did it once on a pali without any shield and it worked pretty well, then they understood they need to stop throwing the cata shots 1 by 1 or 2 by 2 and eventually broke it. Just gained us 1h and made them get more salty, this is not a broken mechanic per se.

Shields suck and should be removed.
