Nexus mod request: Shields

[The Nameless]

I don't think the way shields on capital ships are arranged is working very well. This goes hand in hand with the way, in vanilla, their turrets are so weak as to be useless; it's designed to limit the power of such ships, and I think Egosoft went too far.

I do like having individual shields covering the weapons and engines, but with them NOT being covered by the main shield, those weapons and engines are ridiculously vulnerable even to medium and light weapons; a single torpedo and your expensive destroyer or even carrier is a helpless floating brick waiting to be shattered.

So, since I don't know any coding myself, my... my Christmas request, I guess, is for a mod that re-prioritizes the shields so that the main shields are hit first, and then when they're gone, the smaller generators still cover the hardpoints. That way you won't wind up losing destroyers in droves against wings of scouts with torpedoes, and you WILL still have to go through all those little bitty shield generators if you actually want to capture a capital ship or superfreighter.

There is already one mod that changes shield mechanics (simply called "Shield Gains") and multiple mods that change turrets.
While that's not exactly what you wrote, it's at least better than vanilla values.

I already use that one. It's great but not at all what I'm talking about, because a single torpedo can still wipe out all the engines on a destroyer or carrier, and having them recharge immediately (and, you'll notice if you actually use that mod, at a snail's pace) doesn't do jack about it.
