Gameplay: Deployable shields for Engineers

[MedicDude]

Overall I don't think it's a good idea, engineer should stick to repairing vehicles in the rear.

Either you're going to make it powerful enough that everyone will want to use it, which will promote static warfare, or you make it less powerful and vehicles won't even bother to utilize it.

Also, it can't provide any negative effects on friendlies, or else it's a tool for griefing.

I'm strongly of the opinion that the galaxy ground base idea will get nixed, static ground spawn points are too vulnerable, especially when they need to fly into position in the first place.
