Is it possible to modify shield regen?

[RPC]

Is there any way I can make a device that modifies shield regen? Slow it down/speed it up etc.

I made a shield device that did this, but I don't think it is possible to make a Miscellaneous device that influences the regen rate of the installed shield generator.

It would be very neat if it where possible though. It would open up the option to install shield-regen boosters after the fashion of for example the Bushido weapon enhancer. (although it would basically result in a two slot shield device, which may be less desirable if you look at it that way).

Cheers,

I've seen a mod on xelerus where a generic device modifies sheild regen, it was an old one, <300 or so.

You could 'boost' the shield regen by setting the shield hitpoint to a higher amount in an OnUpdate event. However, since the OnUpdate is only fired every 30 ticks, this results in a non-smooth (ugly) regen curve.

(invisible) Negative damage weapon, fired at playership at 30 shots/s anyone?

Use a recurring event on an overlay.

There are functions to damage or heal a shield directly. I don't have them off the top of my head, but they're old enough to be on xelerus.
