MLIE published his update, so the new v1.6 of this variation is here now too:

I'm confused about this mod (and it's related mods, for that matter)
Are the shields just usable with any melee weapon? Do they have a downside, considering several mention "two-handed weapons" - but I don't see any indication that really exists beyond the configuration of what guns can be used with some shields?

@123caboom nope, not required. Unknown uf compatible.i use pocket sand.

Does it not need Dual Wield?
Even Compatible?

Can't start a new multiplayer run, error harmony.pactch.

They needed some love: no more melee penalty, and not as bad movement penalties. So they are tempting to use, rather than always relying on two handed weapon power. Also gave a little dodge to a few shields to reflect the fighting style.

@darkpaladin77 I wouldn't have the slightest idea.

@dizzy_dares Thanks!

Does this work with Combat Extended?

im just stopping in to support another Dizzy

Oh found it. The graphics to those look fine to me, and their construction costs are divided by many materials specifically which I wouldn't adjust- seem good. These types of shields for me are just not ones I see serving a niche. The fundamental problem of detachment from material was what I wanted to change for the mod I changed.

Also, while the scifi statbases and equippedoffsets need some adjustment, imo, overall they're not wildly out of balance the way I felt the base shields were.

Enlighten me. Link? I play mostly tribals so.... I'm kinda tech stupid.

Does this include the Sci-fi addon? If not will it eventually?

Feedback on the new stats, coverage, and attribute modifiers welcome.

Well , this sounds great ill try it
