Gas Shield Generator & Aqua Shield Generator
Specialised Shield Generators mainly used for explorative vessels probing the deep layers of Gas Giants or smaller planets that have higher than normal air pressure, and that of probing the deep oceans of Water Worlds, Water Giants, Ammonia Worlds, and Earth-like Worlds.
This shielding prevents the ship from being crushed by the extreme forces exerted on the hull by effectively pushing-back at those natural forces.
Could be rumoured to either be Guardian back-engineered technology, Thargoid technology, or a blend of both...
Pros:
⦁ Seperate shielding generator that can be installed at the same time as a regular Shield Generator (does not have any MJs of any kind so it cannot be added to regular shielding - However, it will be represented by a seperate *green* shield bar below the regular combat shield to show the pilot the limit of the atmospheric shielding as he or she descends through varying levels of pressure).
⦁ Comes in all sized modules ranging from 1 to 8. Size 1 will allow a ship to reach the deepest part of earth's ocean (over 1,000 atmospheres), whereas 2 to 8 will rise accordingly and will be multiplictively higher - the size 8 allowing large ships to probe the deepest.
⦁ The Gas Shield Generator will allow ships to probe Gas Giants and other celestial objects (water etc.) with high pressure in order to obtain special data on anomalies or life forms, etc..
⦁ Both the Gas and Aqua Shield Generator can be installed on the same vessel, but due to the extreme power consumption costs, pilots will need to manage these modules manually.
⦁ Can eventually be engineered to allow all modules to either lessen mass, lessen heat generation, lessen fuel consumption, or increase depth.
Cons:
⦁ Twice as heavy in mass than the regular Shield Generators.
⦁ Power consumption will be extremly high (the equivilent of two Shield Cell Banks)
⦁ Heat produced is higher than the regular Shield Generators but is more than manageable - if pilots go beyond the "red line" shield indicator, the heat produced will drastically rise until either the shield fails or the module itself overheats the ship, or a combination of all.
⦁ When active, increases fuel consumption by 1 ton per hour per 10% of the total depth capable of the shield (therefore, at almost maximum depth, almost or at 10 tonnes per hour).
⦁ Gas Generator Only: When active, prevents fuel scooping of hydrogen.
Thoughts on this potential technology?
