Massive planetary shields

[Suicide Junkie]

I know that the planetary shields are worthless junk right now.
What I'm trying to do here is to make the planetary shields worthwhile.

So, what I did, was boost the PS I to 10K shields, and add a PS II, @ 50K shields, and a PS III, which has 75,000 phased shields.

Those high level shields are budget busters, though, as 500,000 minerals will take decades to build. What you'll have to do is build and upgrade a PS I in order to finish in a reasonable abount of time

The 10K shield will withstand a moderate amount of punishment, and you can then devote the weapon platforms entirely to big weapons.
Also, all the shields have to be gone before even the first platform gets destroyed, so your firepower dosen't diminish.

Note: all those numbers are flexible ... I'll probably end up dropping the price of the higher level shields, and boosting the strength of the PS 1 (maybe double?).
