Basicly the same as a Pulse shield but this one is green.
and gives a 25-50% chance of making incomming fire make a 180 turn and switch target to the person that fired em.
Not sure what would happen to fighters though.
If the wave did not have effect the incomming fire will just head straight for you like normal

that would be more of a scrambler not a shield.

Suggestion: Psi Wave (Kluth only) makes incoming fighters (within 250 gu or so) turn friendly (for you) and attack you enemies (whoever is the closest one to you)

Careful with that kind of weapon, Shifty.
If I remember correctly, in HW:C the Repulser field pushed ships back, too.
Think about tractor scouts...
Think about scouts, or any other ship, with a device that can push a whole fleet into a planet at once...

Repulsor Shields sounds neat...but I don't think it should turn the munitions back on the player firing, merely deflect them...which may cause the munition to hit your buddies, the baddies or nothing....but atleast they don't hit you.
The Psi Wave is a nifty idea too...but none of that 'Mind Control' stuff. Just a Psonic Pulse wave that momentarily stuns the pilots of Fighters...doesn't kill them, doesn't really do anything except prevent them from firing for about 30 secs.
Then maybe a Psonic Blaster...A PCM like missle that hits a ship and for 30 secs Steering is down by 50%, weapons reload is down by 50%...like you stunned the crew some....
But only 50%...not cumilative...that would be nuts....and PCM in that it is slow recharge, slow firing and not too many of them.

I like this Psi wave idea would give Kluth a chance against the carriers.
As for my repulsor idea it would only work whit projectiles that use tracking.
So Prticle cannons wont be effected at all since they are just fire and forget

Yes the Hive needs something so it won't get owned by carrier dreads. ICC have thier pulse waves + beams and UGTO have EADs for PD, but Kluth are bad in the PD stat. You can mod them, but Kluth should get a chance unmodded.

K'luth will get the best interceptor fighters.

Like said, K'luth will have the best interceptors, so you better have ships around you that actually have fighters. And ICC are getting balanced against fighters as well, since Pulse Beams won't kill in one shot and Pulse Waves will only kill fighters if they are very close to the center of the blast. As well heavy beams will be reduced in accuracy against missiles and fighters, so its Pd will be reduced to 4 light beams.
And if you say that I'm talking about sometime in the future not now, remember that new weapons will only go in after the balance patch (or so I think I've heard).
As for this "shield" itself, I don't think it would fly very well, especially if the ICC (it sounds like ICC tech) are attacking a planet with several Carriers around them. I wouldn't like having 32 fighters turned back on their owners.

Hmmm...
Strength of the K'Luth, or any faction's station, vs long range attacks such as fighters is a key issue that is being looked at deeply in the development of v1.482. We have some solid ideas of how to address this. Stay tuned for more information at a later date (i.e., as the changes become solidified and as we come closer to a point where it can be tested in beta).
