GSO Shield Bubble Projector

Usage
This shield bubble has a diameter of 10 blocks.

The GSO Shield Bubble quite a rarity at the time it could be obtained, but it is also pretty powerful for its abilities, being the third largest shield projector in the entire game. The other two are from Better Future and Hawkeye, whose radii are just slightly larger. It will cost huge quantities of energy just to maintain, and even more so when under fire, but it prevents damage, so it works better than a repair bubble. However, it's best to pair the two together when possible. The downside is that GSO Batteries are usually unable to basically allow it to withstand enough fire due to their low capacities so this block's usefulness only shines when high-capacity batteries are found. As for splash damage, early-game AoE weapons don't even go through shields on top of dealing less damage, making it an excellent defence until viable alternatives can be obtained or for crafts that care about energy efficiency.

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

Trivia

 * Despite the description stating that the shield generators can stop outside tampering and are considered impenetrable barriers, most shield bubbles still allow other blocks, resources, and even entire techs to pass through. They only block solid projectiles.
 * Additionally, it also mentions that originally shield bubbles were used as a defence against adverse weather, despite the fact that no weather has been present in game.
 * Entire layers of shield bubbles do not grant increased protection than singular ones, as an explosion will pass through the shield and damage all of them, causing the electricity on the tech to deplete faster.
