New shield type

[JHDude]

So I would have to modify the shield so that it could withstand more than 8 hits of 6dx10 damage (extra power doesn't work so good if you're toast)? Or am I not understanding this correctly?

The way I was intending was that the shield absorbs energy until it blows, and that diverting incoming energy to power the weapon was a way to increase shield regeneration...
