1. Generic Shield (number of points)
The Shield property blocks damage.
For example, a Mech with shield(4) will take 4 less damage from every hit.
2. Damage Shield: Laser/Missile/Cannon/Fire/Ice Shield (number of points)
A Mech will block a given ammount of damage from a certain type of weapon.
For example, a Mech with Laser Shield (50) will take 50 less damage from every laser hit.
Fixed number shields can be stacked with percent shields for additional (very effective) protection. In this case, the fixed number shield is applied first, and the percent is applied last.
3. Damage Shield: Laser/Missile/Cannon/Fire/Ice Shield - (percent)
A Mech will block a percent of damage from a certain type of weapon.
For example, a Mech with Laser Shield 50% will take half damage from laser weapons.
Shield percents multiply, do not add.
If a Mech has 2 shields which each block 50% of laser damage, that Mech is not immune to lasers.
The first shield will block 50% of the damage, then the second shield will block 50% of the remaining damage, for a total of 75% damage blocked.
