Are combat shields in the game?

[Hathur]

I've seen screenshots of riot shields (combat shields) in the game and noticed they exist too in the equipment files of the game too. How do I get access to these? I cant seem to find what I need to research. I've managed to get up to wolf armor and laser weapons so far, but not sure what I need to research the riot / combat shield things.

They're buggy at the moment so they've been removed till they're fixed.

I think they'll be worth the wait. It's going to make such a difference getting inside some of those craft.

Every time I think of combat shields I think of flammenwerfers...
