User blog comment:Ficus13/Shield Proposal/@comment-27822653-20141210152755

If we ever make shields, this is my proposal:

ALL shields will be the same power, no matter how strong the navy.

Shields will be an extremely difficult tech to optain, so only advanced navies will have them.(ex: Prometheus, EAF, etc

Shields will be extremely expensive to make, so not all ships in a navy/fleet will have them.

The shields will have a long recharge, but will last until depleted(by missiles, ramming, shells, etc)

And because all shields will be the same level, we need to discuss how much hits it can take from any type of weapon, so yes, a 76mm rapid firing gun can destroy the shield, only after maybe 100000 hits.
