The Photonic Wave Resonance Barrier is a deployable device that generates a temporary forcefield, allowing the user to create defensive fighting positions at will. It is loosely inspired by the Bubble Shield from the Halo videogame franchise.

Parts Used

I started with the base game Pulse Mine mesh and removed the blinking lights before replacing the plunger with a Microfusion Cell, and retexturing the coil with the Alien Power Cell texture. The deployed forcefield was made using the Force Field Generator from the Mothership Zeta DLC.

Usage Notes

Attacking with this weapon is considered a “Minor Crime”, meaning that only the victim will become aggressive without turning their entire faction hostile.

By default, the barrier only lasts for thirty seconds. This can be changed by entering the console command set aaaGLOBMineBarrierLifetime to # where # is any numerical value. The default value is 30.
