Group Shield Hardener

Equipping this item to capital ship will increase the each capital ship’s shield recharge rate by 10% ( in a group) as long as every ship is within one system(in any direction) of the equipped capital ship. Two ships in a group get a 20% increase. This maxes out at eight ships in a group with a 80% increase.

The negative of using this item is the high grid usage. Equipping on a Goliath will mean that a Goliath will not have any addon turrets available, only what comes with the Goliath. Also, the mass is a bit high. This is manufactured item using rare hive technology.

+1 I can finally use those fucking DMs

I actually like this because it's kinda like how the hive queens and levi work

However i'd like to add an amendment:

Ships must be in space to have an effect, docked ships do not contribute to boost

With that in mind I am +1

Could alsp be a drop from hive queens

+1

build at a conq station

should use a hell of a lot more materials though

use more q-cores...like 10 or 12

add a bunch of other bot cores to the build as well

overall, this should be a build that is larger than a TU
