so basically, it defends against big space rocks and ripped up starship, and also stops spooky nebulas and electrical attacks which would fry it

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that shields don't have a tier of their own, but instead match the tier of the ship they're on. Now, I can understand this getting in the way of the whole "bad against damage" shield thing you're trying to go for, so let me offer this suggestion.

Instead of assigning the shield system a tier, you could have it varying depending on generator size. The weakness to damage could be fluff, or if you want you could explicitly state that it only defends against X things in any effective manner.
 
Shields not having their own tier huh, hadn't heard that one before so thanks for the insight although i had planned on some other shields in future if this is the case your generator size idea would probably work, just for the sake of cementing my knowledge for the future im sorry to bother you @Wes but are you able to confirm what alex mentioned?
 
As far as I know we've always had ship shields match the ship tier.
 
awesome thanks for the verdict, @Alex Hart I'll update you when I've made the edits to the shield to reflect its damage absorption capacity rather than a lower tier
 
I'd kind of like to see sort of a summary of what sort of stuff it's strong, mediocre, and weak against in terms of sources of damage, just so that fluff isn't all that someone has to go off of.
 
ok so 2 turned into 13.5 but I was tired, anyway I have added a simple table to show what kinds og weapons are most effective and such, let me know if the table seems ok and if there is any damage types I've missed, also i left out aether since only yam has aether weapons afaik and ive seen it written plenty of times before that nothing can defend well against it so yeah
 
*tfw you realise you forgot to add the gravity stabilizing system to the shield*

eh' I'll make it into some other subsystem for starships lel
 
Sorry this took so long.
