This, have people learned nothing from the SCU gen?

We shouldn't have them at all, if they want more and larger indoor areas (and I do) they should be just that. If there is a shield, I hate the idea of flying through it (because now I have to guard it with my burster max, and I can see the planes but can't shoot them unless they poke their nose in... in which case I shoot them, so they don't. So, I guess we'll just stand here and look at each other, shall we?
If we have to have shields, they should be always on and impenetrable... ala. BioLabs

I have never seen a more artificial implementation of "We said so" in game design, period. I'm not generally given to hyperbole, but I think these aircraft shields could break the game for a large percentage of the population. (looking at you TRAF).

With the unbreakable tank shields I have already cursed pouring thousands of certs into vanguards, prowlers and lightnings. Beacon spawns are the only useful way of transport now.
