New shield type

[JHDude]

Hey guys, another question for you.

I'm trying to put an alien race that I've been developing in my head for a long time into GURPS. They're rather militaristic, so I'm trying to get their weapons and armor constructed first, and that's where I ran into a slight problem...

This race is a super-science race, carrying conversion beams mounted into their battle suits. In addition to that, their suits have a personal shield that absorbs incoming energy attacks, and uses part of the would-be damage to power the weapon (and other systems). The issue is, I'm not entirely sure how that shield is going to come out in GURPS...

I guess what I really need are some people willing to bounce ideas with me.

Thanks in advance.
