This is geared towards a post damage model fix game. A game with proper ship damage would undermine the need for shield cell banks and possibly even boosters and in fact the current behavior could be harmful to combat.
I think shield cell banks should be reborn as Power Cell Banks.
PCB's are consumable ammo internal modules like SCB's.
PCB's operate over a duration once activated, this duration varies by module class and size relation to the power distributor (the relation modifier is similar to how shields are affected by optimal hull size).
The amount of ammo differs by rating.
The PCB temporarily maxes the pips in all subsystems for your power distributor. A byproduct of activation is heat production.
The PCB would be useful in both offense and defense without undermining damage sustained. Properly balanced it should not negatively impact the importance of power management.
