Host 193 question about base shield

Archived from groups: alt.games.vgaplanets4 (More info?)

Tim,

With host 193:
New: Base ION Cannons only work when the shield is turned off

Question is if a base shield gets destroyed during a combat
vcr by fighters or by a super weapon and this base has ION
cannon and ord available, will the Ion cannon begin to fire
at the attackers after the base shield gets destroyed by combat?
I have not tested this with host 193.

Also in the past base shields have been set to auto turn on
even if they had been assigned an off position during a vcr combat.
This includes the function of the automattic Solorian base shield
which is dependent upon the size of its population.

Question do the players now have control over the on/off switch
of the base shield or do they still auto turn on?
Does this include the Solorian?
I have not tested this either with host 193.

Whats going on with solorians? I mean a 10 Mio colonists base only have a
shield in battle ... i can't disable the shield if i have ion cannons ...

So what will occur? Will my ion cannons fire or will the shield appear and
disrupt that?

Your shield will appear and protect you, if your shield is taken out
your ion cannons will open up and fire at the enemy.

Seems like your enemy has to be smart enough to turn off the base shield ...
yes
