How to use in your fleet
The radius of Shield Bearers are small, and can only cover a fraction of the entire fleet. In order to maximise the utility of overlapping force fields, use group-move with a small set of ships that needs protecting: e.g. Plasma Siege Starships, Botnet Golems, or ships from a cache of Zenith Reserve Ships. Doing so will distribute damage over many individual force-fields and keep them alive for future repair. This tactic can also apply when entering hostile wormholes or covering critical infrastructure in an emergency.
