    Tesla Wall (Blue 2 slots)
    • Thrown like a mine.
    • Puts up a blue tesla wall too high for mines/grenades to be thrown over.
    • Works like tesla shield, but if broken, stuns all (friendly) ships for 5 sec.
    • Ships can pass through, along with torps.
    • Is very transparent, but still easily noticeable.
    • Low enough for all mortars to pass over.
    • Blocks ALL shots, friendly fire also does dmg.

    Too underpowered. It doesn't block mortars, doesn't block torpedoes, it blocks friendly shots, and it can stun the entire friendly team. What you just created is the ultimate troll item. Please no.

    Edit:
    What this would look like in practice:
    Whole team is gathered around the Fixer, forming the invincible Fixer-ball! Defender puts a wall up. All mid-air fire, including our own, immediately gets cancelled, immediately destroying the wall and stunning all of us. Random Bigpedo blows us up.

    Alternatively:
    Defender puts a wall up just for himself and our Fixer. It doesn't do anything, since the enemy starts rolling out the mortars. In an attempt to escape, a random Bigpedo blows them up.

    Alternatively:
    Defender is trolling and drops a wall right in front of our Fixer. All of Fixer's heals are cancelled (since they can't penetrate neutral walls). Fixer is about to ragequit, but a random Bigpedo flies through the wall and blows him up.

    You might see what I'm getting at.

    It normally doesn't, but he said this wall takes damage from friendly fire.

    I'm at mk5 enforcer and I am looking for a different ship now because the MK5 enforcer is too weak with fire power for the HP it is given plus it is too slow.

    If you put all mk5 ships in a Battle with only the weapons it can hold, the enforcer would be the first ship sunk. Of course besides the fixer but the fixer doesn't count for this battle.

    What I was talking about when I said a physical shield, meant something that blocks everything including torpedoes, frosts, teslas, and mortars. It can't have the same weaknesses as the Tesla Shield, otherwise Defender doesn't have a reason to use it.

    Fixers aren't for 1v1 so yea of course they will lose. The heals are crazy. If you don't have a fixer and the other team has a mk5 fixer they will win 90% of the time unless you have a really good team or that fixer just sucks.

    I see fixers as a liability ( except some good fixer which are very rare of course) and fixer are always 1v1 because they are last surviving ship, most of the time I spent with fixer I was 90% times 1v1 and that is where you get the actual comparison of ships.

    A fixer vs an enforcer 1v1 that fixer can fix itself almost faster then you can do damage to kill it. I think fixers still need a healing nerf. Fix the fixers weapon slots but then the heals will have to be nerfed.

    I'm not sure which ship I want to go with because the enforcer gets me max 2300 infamy last season and that's the highest I've gotten. Which ship would you recommend?

    Are you kidding me? Fixer till mk5 have one weapon slot dead ship agility useless speed. A capable enforcer can always dodge any attack because of its incredible ship agility and turret. Self heal nerf of fixer almost killed the class. Fixer will never win a 1v1 battle with any ship atm because others can deal more damage than fixer can heal itself.

    Depends on your play style I was a fixer till 1800 ish infamy but after that I found it useless as people tend to work alone and don't follow teams rather they don't believe in team work. I changed to speeder post 1800 infamy.

    Also take into account the heal nerfs yellow items bring. Frost -50% Stun means no healing and enforcer surely has one of those items and there is only one counter to that, that is the bolt which you cannot hit yourself so enfo vs fixer will always end maybe not in some cases in enforcers favour.
