Overview (WIP)
This OXP sets military shields for NPCs with large mass. This ship upgrade includes in-built shield boosters and energy grids (grid technologies).
(!) This OXP is only for NPCs, as:
- - player has many equipment OXPs for upgrade: Energy Capacitors, Naval Grids, Shield Cycler and Ship Configuration.
- - also it will solve a compatibility with equipment OXPs, these grid technologies will be available for player ships.
For NPCs with the highest energy recharge rates (more than 10 - simulated NEU), this OXP will replace the usual shield boosters with NPC Shield Boosters and NPC Shield Enhancers in order to simulate correctly and avoid an overfitting recharge rate.
Military Multiply Shields Enhancement (MMS) = grid technologies = (?). //WAIT
The label 'MMS' from ship names should be deleted before public release.
