Shields are divided into four segments with each segment attached to a different block; the blocks then behave independently like the shields system in FTL with respect to their segment. Additional blocks beyond the initial four will reinforce / add redundancy.\r\n\r\nFor the moment, let's just do ellipsoid four-segment shields. The shape can be changed later if needed without altering the mechanics much. Doing >4 segment shields for larger ships would be interesting and a bit more complex, though."}}
