[member="Nadja Keto"] it is a shield not a ranged weapon the venting is only a side effect from the energy drain of it being attacked by certain weapons then it vents to avoid overloading it is not a weapon in any sense of the concept it is designed to be a shield as is explained in the submission and is pure defensive, I do not understand how you see this as a weapon and with all due respect i would please ask you too explain your thoughts on that. The only part of the entire submission that could be possibly a weapon is the venting and that is more of a fluff side effect from over containment of energy,it has no targeting system or weapons. The energy just vents out in a wave like steam from a kettle its the exact same idea as a kettle venting super hot air IE steam. If the kettle dont vent the steam like a pot on a stove its boils over if this machine dont vent energy it explodes that was the original submission idea anyway a non weaponized shield. But i found something very interesting canon and am going to edit this submission.
You've edited your submission so the argument is moot, but be aware that every time you edit your submission that it leaves a notation at the bottom of the post to let everyone know it has been edited and by whom.
I was referring to this:

the one hundred meter wave would start from the base of the object that projected the shield, because the object is just venting excess heat in a sense. then anything past that 100 meter wave would be safe as the heat wave dissipated over and lost its energy at the one meter mark. The boundaries of the shield can extend further then 100 meter but the more the shield is extended the more power that is required to keep it solid. now those numbers would be greatly increased considering the size of the shield, a basic shield has a 100 meter wave if it was used for a star ship or a planet the more energy going it would require a more massive venting process and increases the danger zone potentially to the distance of miles for instance like star ship is bigger than a house so if this device was on a starship you would times the venting by the size of the starship so say a 5000 meter starship might have 50,000 meter venting wave. That's the general idea, it is very important to the construction of this shielding device because it needs to vent off the excess energy so it dont overload and explode.
Which, in your own words:

yes unless your in the 100 meter radius then it is like a hydrogen bomb , that is the closest real world example, there is a fusion accelerator cannon is star wars for a example of fusion weapons.

That is a weapon. You can combine shields and weapons together, but it doesn't make it anything less than a weapon.
I see you've edited your submission to avoid this, but it still includes things which require the portions of the ranged weapon's template:

Because of the Luxum used in this device and its special Ion side effects the user of the device can emit a ion wave from the shielding device to potentially have the same effect as a couple of ion grenades
All you would need to do is take the portions of the ranged weapon template that is not already listed in this submission and paste it into your submission, such as the Effective Range and the other missing fields. Any projectile weapon, any kind of explosive, and any kind of area-of-effect or directional damaging effect should utilize the Ranged Weapon Template (which is only called that because the most common usage is for weapons, it doesn't change what the submission is) so that anyone who is being effected by this or is role-playing with this would know the range or area that this would effect and how large of an impact it would cause.
Upon closer inspection, I've also noticed that you've added a restricted material into your submission at a production higher than unique. You will need to include a restricted mission to utilize Pyronium at any production above unique.
In the future, when editing a submission during the review process, be aware that you should inform whomever is judging your submission of any changes made to your submission. You should also be aware that we can see what was displayed prior to the edit by visiting the cached copy of the webpage via google and the Internet Archive. Hiding or sneaking in edits can be construed as an attempt to intentionally mislead a factory judge or staff, which is against the rules. It would be in your best interests to be as transparent as possible when making changes to your submission.
