Venture Projected Tracking Shield

The Venture Projected Tracking Shield is a power block. Once powered up, this shield will protect you from enemy attack as long as you have the energy to power it. This shield only points in one direction/enemy at a time leaving you venerable in the opposite direction.

Functionality
This shield has a projection of 5 blocks and a width of 6 blocks

The shield will protect the blocks behind from being hit by any enemy fire. Venture Shield is quite energy-economical and can be used to protect particularly hard to shield areas, however nature of the projection renders it particularly vulnerable angled attacks like mortars.

Explosions pass though shields ,completely ignoring them ,the only way to reduce explosion damage is to increase the distance between the impact point of the explosive and the craft ,making bigger shields more useful against explosions

The shield takes an initial power load to start up, then drains power gradually as it is up. It will drain more power when the shield is attacked.

This shield has both the lowest passive energy draw and the lowest energy used/damage absorbed of all shields as of version 1.4.8.2
