Intent: Create a unique shield system for Gallofree Yards inc
Development Thread:
Manufacturer: Gallofree Yards Inc
Model: GR- MWA - Wedge Shielding System
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass produced
Material: Arcetron, Gententhium, durasteel
Strengths:
Deflects incoming fire 30% particle, weapons 35% projectile weapons
Effects stackable
Can be added in place of regular shields at the cost of 500 metric tons of cargo space, per unit
Weaknesses:
Does not protect ship by taking damage like a regular shield
Stacking effects have diminishing returns (50% less per stack)
Losses effectiveness at close range, useless at point blank as shield needs time and distance to work.
Does not cover whole ship, only target area Limited to 50m
Can not be used in addition to standard shields
Description: Without access to military grade shielding or much shield tech of any kind Gallofree yards was forced to "re-invent the wheel." With the greatest enemy in the sector known to use weapons that ignored conventional shields, Gallofree has instead doubled down on armoring its' ships and equipping them with shields that do not absorb incoming fire but rather re-direct it. Hence the reason for this unique shielding system.
The system works by projecting a concaved hypergravity field that can distort a projectile's path while in flight and even bend particle and light beams to a lesser degree. While this works well for unguided ammunition it does not work as well for guided and particle based attacks as the first can correct its' course and the second travels much faster and so the shield has less effect on it.
