Number 3 is the Rikti ship.
Number 2 is the Rikti ship's shield.

The shield won't show up. Is there something I am doing wrong? I need another set of eyes plz.

Just a guess, I would guess the original shield in the old Rikti Crash Site zone was probably built into the zone.

There are a couple of FXs for the shield, but I don't know how they work and they're not used in any of the demos I have.

ENEMYFX/Rikti/MotherShipShield/MotherShipShieldDeact.fx

FX in demos

None of those seem to be working. I assume the first one there is a maintain and not a oneshot?

You might try one of the force field power FXs, I forget which is the big one.

Maybe multiple big force fields would work.

I actually have a clean demo file with just my toon hovering above the mothership. This is all thats needed. Although on my computer it disappears when paused.

Looks like the shield itself is an NPC, which is what probably provides the collission. There are no FX for the ship in the file. And the ship is actually just part of the map.
