multi force field invincible

[rubikscube]

In theory, if the force field is just taking less damage than we can repair, 2 force fields is possible to stay up forever

2 mk 1 force fields, put one in low power mode, when the one working is gonna die, turn on the low power mode and switch, engineer fix the force field, AND REPEAT, profit..

why? might be useful for a beach head, course, a better engi and a higher lvl ff is better to do this. also good for a control node.

(turning off the force field is not to damage the one you're repairing be4 it's full health)

Sounds like an aweful lot of microing tho

I have tried this before, but sometimes the whole you-can't-repair-this-until-it's-not-shot-at issue becomes finicky. The AI would sometimes have units immune to forcefields shoot evenly at all of mine, preventing any repairs.

Yes, this does work, but it takes a ton of micro, and resources to conduct the repairs, so it is balanced enough, IMO.

And if I'm right, engineers don't repair things that are on low power mode, or is that only with things that aren't done building
