[quote] The shield graphic was changed to what you are seeing now for the exact reason that you couldn't see what was below them. Making them uniformly blue improved this.

Incorrect. Engine shield drawing was replaced with LUPS drawn shields because the engine renders shields as segments, which allows them to be depth-sorted and visible in pieces rather than a whole sphere at once.

This is, surprisingly, leads to worse performance than LUPS which renders a single sphere.

The
LUPS
reimplementation
didn't
receive
a
texture
for
purely
technical
reasons
of
@GoogleFrog
not
having
sufficient
bother
to
do
that
and
@ivand
deciding
to
construct
the
hyper-advanced
over-engineered
thing
you
see
in
the
video
all
at
once
rather
than
get
it
merged
piecemeal
(
e.
g.
texture
first,
impact
ripple
later)

Reduced opacity on top, where most camera rays fall from. Various frag shader tricks if you're Hackerman.

it should be easier to see under stacked shields plus it would be nice if the graphics for shields were improved
