Bringing back the old shield mod

[CMDR Redcrest]

Just a thought about having a CG or available from tech brokers shields with the 'shield multiplier' enhancement that was available under the old engineering system.
Enough of a boost you could slap it on the Panther Clipper or T-10 (both same hull mass)
Shield would be limited to size 5. Possibly shields 1-4 as well.
Something you'd have to put time and effort in to acquire like with the enhanced mining lasers and double engineered SCO drives.

I wasn't around when those god modules were a thing, but as things are today, modifying the magic shield multiplier doesn't change the maximum mass of a shield generator, does it? The size 5 prismatics have a maximum mass of 1013 tons, which is less than 1200.

Also: A clear from me no to reintroducing those god modules. Some double engineered modules are already borderline.

Over all it makes a fairly weak shield on the Cutter. Just a bit of added survivability but increased cargo capacity at the cost of over all shield strength.
