its a little of both: it protects against a class of weapons and counter-acts gravity. In some universes its a very effective shield.

As for why it scales in size, the generator seems to effect things not based on the mass of what it effects, but a large area determined by the size of the generator.

That said, In a setting with this, I'd probably get a 1/3 or 1/10 one for my ship, because there is very little punishment for going undersized unless graviton beams are a dime a dozen. Its very effective at any size.
