As per the title description... Since it doesn't seem like any of the ship-building tools available online take the new modules into account, I was wondering if this component is worth it on a combat-oriented Python. Seems like you could fit an Anacoda-sized shield into it then, which in theory should be awesome (especially since the Python has a really powerful power-plant).
The reason I'm asking is because the ED Wiki states that the shield is of limited use to combat ships, due to increased mass and power consumption. I can see why the increased power usage might be an issue on a Vulture or FDS (pure combat ships that they are, they tend to have less powerful power-plants). But the Python is in that unique "all-rounder" position, where it seems it won't have any issues with power. So this leaves only mass?
On a side note: doesn't it seem like this particular faction-specific module comes with far better "good things to bad things" ratio, no?
