How is that a flaw? :)

you can place a shield in the circle of creeper allowing you packets to continue without stoppng, therefor inhibitiong the "redlight" effect :'(

[Kithros]

A more elegant solution to disabling shields would be to put crystals with 10000 cost for instance (0 points 0 energy etc.) to prevent people from building over those spaces, this way you could still allow shields without allowing shields to prevent the creeper from teleporting over. The assumption is that nobody will wait 3 hours to finish collecting the crystal.

EDIT: If 3 hours isn't enough, then you can stack multiples of the same crystal since only one of them can be selected at a time.

good idea :)  ty for the advice.  i was also considering adding more fields and such to make it a bit more interesting......   perhaps uploading the fixed "speed version" and an "intense version"  ^^
