Just wondering if this is possible, maybe for a mod but is it possible to make a shield with a very long reach and a very low arc that can effectively be used as a sort of anti-tractor beam?

[Aleskander]

Just make the radius in the .ship huge and the arc low. It'd be OP though

Not really, it'd have pretty much no shielding which is a big trade-off.

well then you can just turn the shield on when the enemy is within your shield radius and then just trade flux for hull damage...

if it's to be balanced the flux of the ship will have to be well considered

Just like the onslaught right?

Onslaught has frontal shields, this is more akin to re-purposing your shield as a weapon at the cost of all your defense.

It still has shielding, which it can use. It just can't fight off two opponents at once easily. The ship still has armor presumably as well. Probably some PD.

A more novel idea would be rear facing shields for a hit-and-run style of fast strike frigate (simply won't work for something bigger than that). Much like an upgraded version of the Hound.

I suggested that before in one of my topics, along with several other kinds of shields such as ones that only appear on the sides.

For broad side ships that would be perfect.

Yes it would be, besides didn't you make the relics mod?  Why not give the harmful shields to the Elder Seekers?

[Vulcan]

maybe some sort of support shield? front shield that's long enough to cover another one or two ships?

is it possible to make different shaped shields? thatd be a great modding feature if not!
