Protoss shields

just like the ghost cloak/lockdown, protoss technology uses both mental and technological components to work

 

How would the shields of the ships work then? Everybody on board projecting their minds into the shield?

And sorry themacman, didn't mean it that way

 

yes it works that way, the psy powers are enhanced by khaydarin cristals

 

yay their shields regenerate at 2x the speed that was in the original starcraft, this makes the armor/shields a bit tougher.

 

Now they only regenerate out of combat though. This means two things:

A) If you don't finish off a Protoss unit, he will be ready for battle again much faster.
B) If you can get reinforcements to a losing battle, enemy Protoss forces won't have a chance to recharge any of their shields.

The only caveat to this is that the Protoss probably won't have a Shield Battery or similar unit in Starcraft 2.

 

Well curently every Protoss ship (besides the Mothership but I might be wrong on the MS) has only 1 person piloting/contrlling the whole ship. So it still would be just one person controlling the shields augmented with powerful khydarin crystals.

 

If anyone noticed in the Gameplay video the shields didn't regenerate until about 15-20 seconds after the last time shot. The lack of combat recharge does leave room for a shield battery

 

im thinking a staright up brick wall.. so i guess the bullets just fall down lol

 

Agreed, I think the shield would act something like a wall. Attacks just bounce off it want bullets just repel off.
