TOPIC: [SSRP] Predator vs Shields

Server Name: SSRP

Suggestion Title: Change how the predator's electric round interacts with medi/baseshield

How would it benefit the server: Making a 30m item not instantly destroy 1b+ in baseshields/etc would be more balanced than it currently is

Potential Issues/Exploits: Golden baseshield may become too powerful, instead it could possibly have a cap of 5 down at a time regenerating the same props.

Additional notes:
The problem:
As it currently stands, the predator's electric round instantly destroys any baseshields and medishields in a very, very large area. The range on the predator's electric round is insane; the ammo costs <1m to buy and is cheap to craft. It isn't worth placing a 500m+ item (gold baseshield) just to lose it to a combined cost of about 35m.

Change:
I propose that the electric round should instead give a notification that the affected baseshields are overheating rather than simply being destroyed, and if they are not picked up within 1 minute they will blow up. If another electric round is shot and affects the baseshield, it should halve the time it takes to blow up (ex: 2 electric rounds shot near shield would instantly make the time for it to explode 30 seconds, and another would make it 15 seconds.). It should not decrease the time to less than 15 seconds after shooting 3 electric rounds as then they could be quickly destroyed with 3+ people shooting multiple rounds.

Effects: More hands-on defending with special weapons; raiders gain a much needed but relatively significant advantage.
With this, the predator only loses a small amount of its power and does not have the ability to instantly destroy golden baseshields and medishields but instead makes the defenders come to the front of the base protect and attempt to salvage their shields, while also giving the raiders an advantage because their targets would be more accessible and defense would be more hands-on.

If you think the suggestion is imperfect, feel free to comment below why!

BaseShields are an execellent item for bases and has been a massive benefit for defenders, but since they can be destroy from such distances within an instance - this change is needed.
