i always thought that some aerospace navies, such as SAA, EAF, Prometheus, etc. had several shields that helped absorb lasers/ particle cannons and stuff like that, but the only thing they are good at are basically reducing the effectiveness of such weapons, because basically making the shield stop EVERYTHING is pretty OP, so I made my shields capital warships exclusive (that means Sentinel II and up), as well as the fact that the shields only weaken the energy source from said attack.
