Well, I just readed the shields post and I i think that there should be a "Mirror Shield" or something like that, that is used to rebound or make the enemy lasers bounce on it and go back. The melee weapons wont be blocked. And you also could make a shield (with normal shield and mirror shield) thatcan block melee and bounce lasers. The mirror shield Just saying. It could be nice.

Hm... it could work. If it uses the same mechanic about white health, then it would be very risky: you can rebound lasers dealing critical damage each time, but not other sort of attacks. So you have to keep yourself dodging and reflecting, avoiding a HUGE damage in the first enemy hit, since the white health keeps accumulating...
Sounds interesting, though Teo does have a point, I think. I would love a shield that can reflect part of the enemies laser attacks and also has real shield power, like some shiny metal shield...
We could get 100% reflective mirrors and be immune to lasers, any lower than that and we would be fried in a instant. Also, English is stupid that past tense of read (synonym of reed) is read (synonym of red).
Not necessarily, after all, it's a game, not a reality simulator. Lethal lasers for 100 Threat Level planets? Sure! For the rest of the game, having one-hit KO weapons is too much: why you would use any other stuff when a laser do the job in the fastest way possible?
Sounds like a really neat idea, though just a side idea of me, would be to have a disadvantage to this mirror shield, for example, you can't be able to be healed by others, since you have this mirror shield it would just reject whatever the healer person tries. Right? I don't really like with 100% op shields, so lets give them some disadvantages as well.
as far as special shields go i think that there should be a armor slot for "bubbles" and these bubbles should be a energy or force field that protects you and damages enemies that touch it depending what type of bubble it is.
