Quoted from Part_3:Re-read my suggestion. I said VIRTUALLY shoot at you.....like the players attack using the Punch It button.
That makes combat the same both way...with balls and virtual/photon/phaser attacks. Here, the shields and the shield targets could come into play with creative code.
So...like STTNG when you are in Borg Multiball and the Borg shoot at you and drop your shields and you need to hit the spinner to relight.
