Upon deploying, the chaingun gains a 10k hp personal shield ||(free of cost as chainguns now have their personal generator considering their price)||
This would allow them to not be completely useless after taking a beating while reloading as they could still fire a bit more.

maybe a block that goes behind it called the chaingun shield generator? Takes energy and protects only the the chaingun
i feel like a free of cost chaingun shield is a little much

i agree here
i think specialized chaingun shield generator part would be cool
frigid temple
that doesnt solve it at all
its a good idea and something that i think would be neat for its own weapon system but with the chainguns current balance problem being that its not good unless you use them a lot this would only make it worse imo

How does adding a shield free of cost to a weapon, at worst adding an option for it, makes it worse ?

currently in pvp the meta for chainguns is just using as many as possible with long long magazines and not reloading them, by adding a shield to the chaingun it's actively encouraging that boring build style while doing nothing to encourage other uses for it

No
It's encouraging to use less chainguns and reload them
For the simple reason they survive better

yes but it's discouraging using shields

It's not deck mounted WTF did you even read the post

yes but it's discouraging using shields
If you wanted to encourage using shields on chainguns, then maybe faster ramp up so you can use less magazines could be a solution
But that's not the point of my suggestion
My suggestion aims at increasting surviviability

pop UP as in UP to the deck layer

pop UP as in UP to the deck layer
Nah pop up like chainguns

Yeah if you want
It reminded me of pop up turrets in total annihilation where they get cloak when not firing
or something
i don't remember

this is a good idea, one of chainguns issues is fitting the magazines in a ship
also, don't link another one of your unrelated ideas
