That cloaking device just got an amazing visual upgrade. I really like what you did there.
Agreed.
Nice!
This looks amazing, but shouldn't the Sovereign's shields be hull-hugging?
That would be cool but I imagine it's not within the limits of the game engine. Plus, to have some ships with hull-hugging shields and others with bubble shields would be kind of strange.
That is indeed the reason
Well it was only in Nemesis that was the case, in the other movies it had a more Voyager bubble look. I would guess the hull huggers are for high powered bolt attacks if you want to kind of canon explain it.
I always believed that hull hugging shields are more resilient/efficient but have a nasty problem with plasma and concussive forces, whereas bubble shields are situated far enough away to not be as much of a problem
i always thought they were just better than bubble and all new ships got the upgrade (since nemesis was the set furthest in the future)
If that is so, then they should have sticked to HHS in the start, because NCC-1701-E is the same; in First Contact and Insurrection he had bubble, in Nemesis he has HHS. Make a choice, blast it: bubble or HHS, not both. Sometimes I think that they're worse than I am, and I can't make a choice on a *lot* of things.
i think that enterprise e must hav been refitted during all the films as it is certainly not the same ship at the end as it is the beginning: it was darker in nemesis, in first contact the viewscreen was a holo-screen, and then the shields changed too. Due to the dominion war maybe whenever she had to be put in for repairs it underwent minor improvements/refits
I still say: make a choice. And I think that bubble are better. Call me old-fashioned.
And this is why I play Romulan's... every time!
