[Ssnakes_Everywhere]

I just wanted to know if there is a geo corp shield bubble coming in the future, and if theres not, PLEASE add it! you can even make it like 50k blockbucks i dont care ill take it.

Go to Hawkeye for good shields. Geocorp's shields are their thick armor plates and beefy blocks.

Never going to happen. They're not a combat oriented corporation. Harvesting creates wear and tear so they have repair (bear, hair, dare, fair) but shields don't protect from environmental damage so there's no reason they'd have one.

Good point in theory, but the devs clearly don't take GC's theme as seriously as you'd hope. Giving them shields wouldn't make any less sense than armor plates, scoops that are meant for flipping enemies over instead of scooping up ores, or a giant plasma cannon that locks onto enemies but not resources. They've already crossed the "break the theme just to add cool weapons" line, might as well go all the way with it.

Personally, I'd much rather see them get their own conveyor belts, since they're supposedly specialized around harvesting. You still can't build a full-fledged GC harvester or factory, but of course they have massive drills and saws and laser cannons... feels like the team didn't bother finishing "the boring parts" before moving onto the weapons.

(Seeing this a lot with Better Future, too. "They're not combat-oriented!", those massive laser guns are just for self-defense, officer)

Geocorp does have a shield bubble. It's basicly a larger version of the GSO shield, Just larger.

No, they have a regeneration bubble.
No shield.

GC regen bubble should be a huge cube shape, like thier blocks.

i know it wont happen but its fun to dream

[Gugnarr the Mighty Thewed]

Personally, i think GC should have a massive 4x4x4 heavy cube for a shield. and the shield barrier should be a cube too.
And it should use loads of pewor.

So you can use it to cover your base.

challenger makes an excellent point. They already broke thier own rules.
GC were never never never going to have flying block. Oh, here's a thruster, and a hover block.

I can see the no guns rule.
But a shield makes perfect sense.
But, they don't really need it.

Regen + armour does the job against anything except a massive assault.

so im not allowed to say this but there is a Geocorp shield. it is unobtainable unless you use a mod. the geocorperation prototype shield can be obtained in campaign and it is the big orange shield.

GC has a shield,Its called the GC Prototype Shield

[sophAur]

you know why geocorp doesn't have huge shields? Because missiles or cannons won't make it through. The hawkeye shield is already on the borderline on that matter, as they have about the same radius as the explosion radius of cruise missiles and battleship cannons, and I'd be disappointed if the devs create any shield that's larger.
Think of it, a shield that's impenetrable without sticky bombs? nobody would use repair bubbles.

the prototype dose to it brakes all trees and rocks that get in side the bubble

and there is a go corp shield its the big red one

you cant go though them it stops explosions unlike any other shield and it as low power drain and i will brake anything that gets in side [trees and rocks]

and it is a "cap" too :]

but no with out mods only the AI can use it not you hope this helped
