Focusing shields to key points to limit? Have you considered an alternating shield? Cyclonic in nature. The shields commonly used on everyday craft are fixed and designed to disperse impact when hit throughout the shield its self. In today's standards, it isn't the most efficient method. If, however, you're talking small scale specific shielding, it's possible to design it to rotate or cycle around its designated area. This would disperse incoming kinetic and energetic energy more fluidly, increasing longevity of the shield's lifespan and overall strength. Not exactly a cheap method to produce, but it's certainly an avenue you can expand in to.
As for the coolant testing, don't worry. We can enable one of the reserve A-Generators for your testing if you intend to drain a lot of power. It's a good opportunity to test how the generator handles that kind of stress.
Now, what I'd need from you...
I mentioned a while ago that I've given up command of my aging and outdated Dreadnought. This is for more than one reason. The primary being the negotiations with Liberty, whilst the others are due to it not being compatible with any of the upgrades we'd want to install to further its ability on the field. Seven decade old technology is rather irritating to incorporate in to recent AP tech designs. There's often computing and compatibility issues that arise, and the power generators on that vessel can't stay cool enough to support continuous fire of what would pass for its grandchildren firearms.
I mentioned to you that we need to develop a middle ground for cost and combat efficiency. Raven and I have come up with some plans, and we'd like to speak to you when you arrive at Ataraxia, provided your work doesn't keep you too occupied. From there, we can open a project file and iron out the basics of our ideas.
I look forward to seeing you.
