Spot (Shielding Type)

Spot shielding is a type of shielding that is generally not meant for combat situations. A spot shield generator creates a low-level shield around the object it is protecting and strengthens in the areas that it receives impact.

Pros

 * Low energy use
 * Compact generator, great for ships where retaining small size is important
 * Strong shielding in a single impact point
 * Tends to last longer without repairs

Cons

 * Simultaneous impact points spread out the shield, weakening its effectiveness
 * An attack that encompasses the entire protected object will break through the shield very easily
