Idea: Suggesting alternative way to increase PoB defense.
Description: New PoB Module Shield Modulator
Effect: Every shield module decreases damage to base shield by 16% (97% + 0.5% * Quantity of modules)
Restriction #1: There can be built no more than 3 shield modulators. Restriction #2: They can't be built if weapon platforms are present, incompatible with them.
Comment: Peaceful way to increase base defense. Alternative to weapon platforms. 3 modules built as maximum decrease incoming damage twice, at the cost of no ability to go offensive (no weapon platforms)
Additional thoughts: (Optional) There can be additional restrictions for base core level, for example
Core 2 allows only one shield modulator
Core 3 allows two shield modulators
Core 4 allows three shield modulators
