This is where we will talk about plot, characters, and what not.

So about these shields. How do they work? Does the mech just dedicate all the power that was going to weapons and movement to use it? Is it just a switch that gets flipped or a whole process? And I guess it's reusable unless the circuits get fried?

Think of it more like how Halo shields. They are always on, and sap a small portion of the power, but they need a recharge period after being broken, in the mean time your mech can be damaged straight on. However, if you decided to turn off your shields you get added power, minus the protection.

Are you talking about personal shields? Do we have those? I was asking about the gear that heavy mechs get that can guard an area.

Those would be comparable to the drop shields in Halo. They are carried on the mech like a back pack, and they drop to the ground and deploy the shield. They are reattached after they run out of juice, and need to be recharged, either by using the mech's power supply, or waiting until they return to the hangar.

hmmmm, I wonder does anybody have any suggstions about what we're gonna call our little group in game. Referring to all of us as "the squad", or "that group of bastards right over there" might get tedious after a while.

Hey AKAAAT, shotgun shell gauges are numbered in a way that the smaller the number, the bigger the shell, so I don't know if you want to change that or not.
