but for the temporal faction they really should get available much l8er dont u think?
Something went wrong and Data was all over that Holodeck Program every single character including the gunslinger
worf had no Chance in the Stand-off against him because of Datas Reflexes, so he build a Personal Shield out of his
... his starfleet Communicator but i had only the strength to hold one Shot or couple of seconds
enough for Worf to shoot Data and end the Programm

Worf finishes making a simple force field generator with some telegraph parts and his combadge functioning as a power source. When Troi asks how long the field will last he tells her not more than fifteen seconds because the field is very unstable.
The whole combat system is based around having the shield and armor for defense against the weapons, instead of having a more natural (to Star Trek at least) stun/wound/kill sort of design, and adjusting the weapons, HP and other stats accordingly.
But that's all too much to try and work into a game, especially when players of other games are so used to the offense/defense set up. It would potentially be off-putting to non-trek fans.
Innovation can be a risky business.

But, as I like to point out, there are limits to the game's engine design. as currently set up, PCs have shields. we can nitpick this detail later when the rifle bug is fixed.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!
(paraphrased from "The Newsroom)
They could make it work, but Geko et al. are very determined that nothing that was in TAS belongs into AoY (see the thread about Caitians in AoY (there are none)) so they would shoot themselves in the metaphorical foot when they started to use TAS technology as a basis for AoY appearances.
No, the reason for that is that shields and armour are just a part of the game, it's hardcoded in. AoY does nothing but simply use different costumes and textures, it's still the same game (and as it looks a lot of wasted opportunity, sadly)

They held meetings and came up with a consensus of what They felt was pertinent.
It is what it is.
We can only express our pleasure/displeasure and hope They continue to fiddle with it based on our feedback.
(I know, I know... that's highly unlikely but one can dream)

Because that statement only goes with one of those two options.

Yeah, I know. The main guy making the decisions, is in the land of make believe.
As if that person is going to explain themselves here!
Especially when Dstahl was still around.

When Caitians show up on my ship, I kindly point them to the only litter box on board, located on the other side of the big door that says "Airlock"

That said, a possible enhancement would be to give the shields available in TOS zero shielding ability and a huge dodge chance and mitigation to counterbalance.
Also, give us Caitian, pretty, please.
You don't like my new form of communi-Caitian?
I find it to be a rather lovely form of gratifi-Caitian.
But I suppose you want a justifi-Caitian for my fabri-Caitian's.
Well, you'll get none from me, cause I'm going on my va-Caitian.
