beef1213 the shields would completely circular and have a no-build zone on the perimeter
Sounds too OP tbh. You could just bury the shields in heaps of armour and there would be nothing stopping you.
beef1213 when placed so that the shield zones overlap the zones would combine to make a larger zone thats elliptical.
This could be quite a weird effect and how would it work? Would both shields go down or would one shield go down? It seems unnecessarily complex and could also be annoying. Sometimes, you don't want shields to cover the entire ship.
beef1213 finally the shield not only prevents enemy fire but would prevent the players from firing back, forcing them to
turn off the shield to go offensive. the shield would deplete all its power when doing so.
And this is especially counter-intuitive. Shields are there to protect you from enemy fire while also allowing you to fire back, without taking any damage. It could be pretty frustrating if you can't shoot unless your shields are down and it also doesn't make much sense.
