Mission:

Deliver 1000 sss to corvus m14

You will receive 1 large port shield generator

2k damage

5 min recharge

The BHMIII (yet to be released) would have one built in

Need more info on this like grid recharge rate etc etc
Great idea but this may be difficult seeing as the ships would need to have shield hit box added.
Maybe 2k shield health 200 a second recharge grid 15

-1
normal ships don't need shields.

+1 would help protect a lone hauler against a single pirate. Two pirates or a swarm rag should be able to destroy the shield.

+1

But only if it reduces the top speed of the ship to 10m/s when not under turbo and 60m/s when it is.

-1 unless you trade all of your fire power for shields

How about a non-recharging shield generator? Essentially trading weapons for more armor. The shield generator has to be recharged in a cap-ship or station, like refilling ammo.

As a non-recharging version, i'd be okay with that.

Maybe you have to charge it at stations? And it could be kinda expensive? And the crafting could mabye have to require a couple hydrogen ion collectors
