The
very
fact
that
ledarsi
wrote
an
extensive
proposal
and
didn't
even
know
that
gauss
are
no
longer
blocked
by
shields,
proves
the
point
that
it's
too
confusing
to
have
only
certain
types
of
weapons
blocked
by
shields
while
others
are
not.
It's
too
difficult
to
learn
or
keep
up
with
changes.
A
shield
is
a
shield
-
it
stops
weapons.

As Saktoth said, there are other ways to manipulate the power of shields in various situations without nerfing them outright. Perhaps the shield-link mechanic could be tweaked to lower the rate of link transfer for large shields while maintaining it for small guys like thugs. Just throwing that out as a way to mitigate some of the porc problems without nerfing the mobile forces in shield bots.
