I've yet to run into anything like that with all the slow fields I've used in my bases. Perhaps its something similar to some of the other defensive items that have "animations". After a period of time (or after power is turned off for a time) some of the animations will stop working until you pick up the items and place them again. Don't delete them. Just select them in edit mode, maybe rotate a turn or two and place back again. Can't say for certain that it works, but its worth a try I suppose.

Yes, all animations for units the requier energy and control will be shut down. They will be tunred back on unless your base produces more control then what it can hold with your units.

@Turbo_Starr
i tried to make that happen last night and didn't see any ripples. but then again, i suck at it. lol.
Hey gang, thanks for the responses.
I did try moving the slow field, and then resetting it...no change. It's like, I can see a very faint axis showing where the 'plane' of the field is, but it no longer has the cool ripple effect.
Also, since I paid my base rent all the other animations are working fine Telepads, Work stations, scrying mirror are all animating as normal. Just the Slow field isn't. Do I need to sell it and re create it?

"Resetting" how? ... did you have it floated for the water effect? or are you just looking for the normal slow field look?|

If you HAD it floated, but then you touched/moved it, it would default directly to the floor.... you'd have to re-float it.

YUMMY Low-Hanging Fruit for BASE LUV
Sorry, should have been more clear.
I am using it for the water effect. I moved it so that it was floor level in a different part of the room, set it (no effect even at floor level) then moved it back to the pool and refloated it to the appropriate height. Still no ripple. Like I said, I can see a very faint shadow of like..and X,Y axis showing where the plane is....and discovered with one of my toons that wears a skirt that if she is standing in the pool any part of her skirt below that plane disappears visually, leaving her standing in her shirt and undies...which was embarrassing for her. :-)
I have plenty of power and control, both are in the green, and everything else seems to be fine. Was hoping I wouldn't have to sell and recreate the slow field, but maybe that's what I'll have to do.
Check your video options... I'm not sure exactly which option it is, but I know that if you have your video options turned down too low, it kills the slow field rippled water surface effect.
I had my options turned way down for dual boxing, and had to turn them back up to see the effect the slow fields made in my base.
Hey all. Just logged into my base for the first time in a few weeks and I noticed that my slow field isn't working anymore. It no longer creates the cool ripple effect that I was using for my pond. I have plenty of power and control in my base, my porters and work stations are all working fine. When I am placing the item it shows me what level it is on because the image of my toon cuts off at wherever the item is located (knee down, waist down ect) but no ripple either in edit mode or when I am just in the base. Any idea why this is?

Thanks for any help
