Damage Capacity
- Body: 6 SP (Mecha scale)
- Shields: None, but can be equipped with a Ke-M2-P2904 Barrier Shield Module for 10 SP shields.
Forearm Shield Projectors (2)
Built into the enlarged forearms of the Mindy, the projectors face the outer side and produce a compact but very powerful protective field (in a biconvex dome-shape). Used in a manner similar to an arm block, the forearm shield can deflect heavy focused attacks (making them relatively effective against most anti-armor weaponry). An arm block with both limbs can cope with slightly more powerful attacks. The forearm shield in itself does not degrade when breached, though damage to the Mindy can compromise its performance (like losing a limb). The forearm shields may not function at the same time the forearm weapons are active and charging.
As for the forearm shields, I'm adding in the numerical values because there were none to begin with. [...]
I'm guessing the forearm shields were intended to be incredibly powerful, but limited in scope/area, so the 6 Armor Scale SP won't do? What would you suggest? I also made mention of the overlapping enhancing the protection due to the original article saying "An arm block with both limbs can cope with slightly more powerful attacks" and went off of that.
As for the Barrier Module, I very much do not want the two acting as separate shield systems for balance reasons.
Contrary to its popularity as a glass cannon, it'd start acting like a tank if the barrier went down, and a player could just pop up a fresh forearm energy shield. When the Barrier Module is used, I'd prefer it if both the Forearm Projectors and the module both feed off the same capacitor so to say. The reason I've proposed only 6 SP for the forearm shields is that I intended them to upgrade to 10 SP as soon as the module was installed.

So the ground combat is the same as Fred likes and the air/space combat is more like I envisioned it. I think that would be a good compromise.
