I thought I had read up on this somewhere, but now that I look where I thought it would be? I'm not seeing it.
What I'm wondering is...what about old projectile-based weapons? Your everyday gun, basically? No mention of them, so obsolete? Or..could they still be produced, and adapted to work with what they're now up against? (shields, etc)
Had a few ideas, but I wanted to clear this up first before even trying with those.
Still floating around somewhere in space? Or a no-go nowadays?
-
Those are still out and about! I know the Pilots use them ( There's a thread recently where two pilots got shot ) ^_^
-
Ah, awesome!
And the shielding..any info on that? I didn't see any-- looked over a few times.
-
Well, they don't have magical plasma shields in Aedolis? But, the technology you give your character is whatever you can think of. P:
-
Wellllll, this is more or less anywhere, as of currently. And for other people. Basically-- if there's gonna be projectile weapons, they have to had been adapted to be useful against shielding in some way, right? Like armor piercing, just..energy piercing. or something.
EDIT: What I should ask is..are shields usually on a shipwide level, or a personal level? Depends on how small the tech is I guess-- if people can have shields.
-
Well, armour piercing is always useful. xD But really, the technology can be as advanced or as old school as you like. P: I don't get what you're asking. The bullets in guns are... hunks of metal. I don't think the regular hand guns have been advanced further technologically wise, but other guns would be.
-
Specialty bullets, 'double-shot' deals that could hit the shield with some sort of separate shot (energy or something of the like) and allow the projectile to pass, etc~ That's all I'm working out, really!
-
Oo, that sounds neat. I don't see any sort of problem with it.
Oh look, an edit!
Some body armour the military has for combat might have a personal shield thingy. I'm no techno wiz, and I know nothing about guns, or... Armour... Anyway, i'm pretty sure that even dragons might be able to make their own... Magical... Shield... thing.

Haha, that works-- okay, guess that's solved. xD Thank you~
