Here is a patch for the P&N "hardened mini-shields"

I just went through and re-balanced the components.
They now provide roughly 10% to 20% more hipoints (shield&armor combined) than shields at the same tech level (but you need armor tech, too).

Before it was "off the top of my head", but now I went through and did the math, tweaking it.

Just replace the HMSs with the ones in the file here.
