Energy Shield

Energy shields are an active defense system used to protect structures or personnel from most directed-energy weapons such as ionic cannons, plasma cannons, electro lasers and lasers. They function by creating a thin energy wall controlled by equidistant 'control points'. This wall absorbs the energy from the projectiles fired at it and dissipates it along itself, because of the impact force of the projectiles, the wall is pushed out of it's supposed path and weakens. A series of shots aimed at a single point will end up breaking a hole in the wall and quickly consume a great amount of energy trying to close the hole, which will end up depleting the shield energy.
