every time i use mods in my SE runs i will always include this such an underrated and valued mod imo

I love this mod and have been looking for something like it for a long time, but I also hate it because while it adds the stuff I wanted, the 45 and 22.5 degree blocks don't line up with their armor plate companions, I don't mind that it's not air tight but I would like to see these plates flatten out with the regular armor, but otherwise a great mod

retractable solar panels

Just wondering, why are the shield components so expensive? I mean, literally requires platinum and uranium... iron, nickel, cobalt, even gold I could get (depending on the electornics), but it seems needlessly expensive compared to their function. Maybe that's just me?

Small grid PLEASE :)

A small grid version would be sweet :)

I would also love a small grid version

... I read this as Retractable Solar not Shields. :( Cool mod though.

would love to se these work more like hangerdoors

Would also love to see a small block version if possible please? Great for protecting cameras and weapons. Also a half height '1/2 x 3 x 3' small grid 'tank hatch' would be really cool! ;)

@KuuHaKu
There a shutter mod that does something like that.

@『KuuHaKu』
I was thinking of making something like that. Will add that in the future

Could you make a shield that extends upwards (instead of hinge-like)? I think it would be good as bridge emergency shield.

@woostyboy
Indeed! Infact, I just updated this mod with new block shield types, which are way cheaper to build, but are also way more fragile

Mod description (here, on Steam workshop) updated

Could also use two doubles oposite each other to make a drawbridge. ;)

@G.A.
Might do something like that in the future :)

@muffler made by silicon
Could work as a trap door too, quite expensive but it works :)

muffler made by silicon@ Physical, protective rigid shield. It is appropriate when approaching the enemy's goal to protect the weapons from the first remote attack of the enemy.

You could create an additional solid shield (something similar, kevlar plates on armored vehicles)
They could take a small amount of energy (the structural integrity of external cladding)

TRAPDOOR?
