Shield is invisible at the start... become more and more visible when hit and depleted... anyway, the shield mechanic is regulated by shader code ( fx files)... same for the shield impact... you can maybe modify the shader code but it will apply on ALL races and models... not really the right solution...

Reply to [Zombies] Are you a Walker or Survivor? (Take the quiz) in Everything Else Sins Forums

Assumption has been made that you do not want to be a zombie and must avoid it at all costs. But why? Life as a zombie offers several advantages to your prior existence: 1. Sentience has a price. Zombies are free of considerations such as fear of death, need to know "what's out there", paying tax, spare for retirement plan, obligatory schooling, etc. 2. Zombies are not expected to form a plan or decide what to do with their life.

Oh, yes, and Voyager's assault on fluidic space to stop the 8472 invasion fleet. I'm sure that that'll
