The New Shield upgrade for the Turrets

[Do you know the Musketman?]

Do they only protect the turret itself or do they cover the buildings around them? I'm putting a shield generator on each cliff expansion, which I know is overkill, but it seems like the in world responsible thing to do, to protect the less sturdy construction there. but It occurred to me to try the turret option, and it's shield does cover most of the space there.

additionally do buildings only half in the shield stay protected? what about with normal shield generators?

Protect all in the shield radius, not only the turret.
protection reacts on bullet distance so half of the building is protected when its half covered.
Any shields can't protect from specific slow bombs.

thank you!

just a few more questions off this while on topic:

- does the shield turret rely on any external input, like shield generator has batteries, or does it just use the turrets power source?
-if it doesn't require anything else to function does that not make it already a way better alternative than shield generator for defensive setups as the shield generator gets destroyed after it runs out of batteries?
-why DOES the shield generator get destroyed if it runs out of batteries?

i understand that the shield generator has a larger radius and higher bubble so would be better suited to protect higher structures.

on another note, does the protective field tower only stop shots from outside it's circle but not inside?

1) Turret power, which consumes a lot.
2) if power consumption and a small radius are not a problem then why not? shield generator is still better to cover the city itself. if run out of batteries its just disable shield, fast delivery can fix it.
3) it doesn't.
4) The protective field have less chance to protect inside but still can.

usually during an attack the shield generators always get destroyed but i imagine that this is because they get priority targeted by slow bombs over everything else then?

thanks for your response :D
