huh, I didnt think of it that way, i was thinking it would be more to diversify the battle in the skies. I have to disagree with the shield being op on a reaver though, I mean compared to cloaking where you can appear behind a pilot cloak+s+spacebar or megaburner where you can get away from or hunt down people with incredible speed. granted it can be abused especially against infantry but no more so than flares or scout radar can. plus it would only last a couple seconds, and under heavy flak would be gone in a second

If you think about it none of these abilities give a definite advantage, the whole goal is dversification. Give it some more thought the ideas may grow on you.

you know, pilots already have an oh sh!% button, its shift. Half the time it rams them into the ground or the nearest tree
