Shield Generator

It is a system choice with a clear defensive purpose; compare the intended hull and power context before adding it to a fleet project.

When it fits: Include it when the chosen ship configuration calls for this generator.

The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 18 SuperConductor, 4 Advanced Plating, 2 Heavy Frames, 1 Computer at Manufactory; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The craft quantity is a component count only; shield capacity/power performance must be checked in a current game reference.
