      Admiral Grammaticus / Nathan Lamont:

      I know you're not planning on adding any new features to Hera, but there is one thing that I feel really needs to be added: The ability to choose "No shielding".

      It really is visually displeasing, as well as patently stupid, to have debris, asteroids and such flash red whenever they're touched. If you could somehow work this into the next build, I'd be most grateful.

      I tried giving asteroids grey shields, and it worked okay...

      I'd have to experiment to see which colors work best on the other objects that shouldn't have shields...

      It's already fixed and you'll be able to select "no shields" in the next release. I apologize for the delay in getting it to you all.

      Thank you. So long as it arrives before I release my plug-in, I'll be perfectly happy with that.

      (another reason I'm waiting for the final version of Hera before I risk full construction of StarLance)

      And now we can do AlterBaseType when the shields are depleted to simulate armor too!

      I only posted that bug report on the boards to see other peoples views on it, not to escalate my bug report or agitate you into fixing it. And...

      I decided to let everyone know this cause it has appeared twice on the same day I posted this topic

      Thats my other reason. If I was annoying you, then...

      • I had no intention of doing so...

      • I'm sorry...
