Shields/armor

[spacebas]

So unless I encounter another race with shard cannons it seems like I would be better off with 2 organic armor components. That would provide 200 kT of protection and 40 pts of regeration. Do shields provide 50 shield points + 30kT of protection, or is the 30 kT destroyed when the shields are destroyed?

There's an idea for a new component! A device that ties all of your organic armor components together into one huge armor component and cumulative regenerative powers.
