SHIELD GENERATOR
Say, that sure is a beautiful starship you've got there. It'd be a real shame if something happened to it... Listen, I know just the thing to protect yourself and your investment from pesky outer space hazards like cosmic dust, stray meteors, and maliciously aimed high-energy particle disruptor beams. Let me tell you friend, when you want maximum protection, you want a Shield.
Shield Generators create an energy barrier that can absorb up to 4 points of damage before collapsing. Shields can be recharged by spending Energy; 1 point of energy restores 1 point of shields, up to a maximum of 4.
Shields can be projected up to 7 squares in a straight line from the generator, and project evenly from both sides of the projection point, from 1 to 5 squares on either side. (For a total width of 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 squares)
Bear in mind though that while a wider shield will protect a bigger area, but still only absorb 4 damage. The size of shields may not be adjusted during a mission.
Shields will be hit if a shot intersects any square they are projected into, meaning that they can be hit from the side or even the rear.
-Build rules-
• Must be placed on the ship's exterior.
• Shield wings cannot overlap parts of the ship, or other shield wings.
• A shield's generator path cannot pass through a shield or a part of the ship.
-Effects-
• Absorbs up to 4 damage.
• May be recharged by spending Energy, at a rate of 1 energy per shield point.
