Shield Augments
Adds Shield Augments that can be fabricated at an Anvil, Forge, or Replicator.
The base augments all recharge at a rate of 10% per second and stop recharging for several seconds upon taking damage.
Tier 1 has 20 base shields and 25% efficiency, so it takes 80 energy to fully charge. It gains bonus shields equal to 20% of your armor’s Protection value.
Tier 2 has 50 base shields and 40% efficiency, so it takes 125 energy to fully charge. It gains bonus shields equal to 50% of your armor’s Protection value.
Tier 3 has 100 base shields and 100% efficiency, so it takes 100 energy to fully charge. It gains bonus shields equal to your armor’s Protection value.
Added 3 new sidegrades at the third tier of shields:
The Stream Shield is only 90% efficient but regenerates 30% per second and takes half as long to continue recharging, it has only 20 base shields and gains 30% of Protection as bonus shields.
The Wall Shield is ~110% efficient and has 200 shields but regenerates only 8% every other second and takes twice as long to continue charging, it gains 200% of Protection as bonus shields.
The Utility Shield has only 60 shields but is 250% efficient, it gains 100% of Protection as bonus shields.

Thanks to MageKing17 for pointing me in the right direction.
I’ve also added a particle effect for when the shield is charging, but if anybody has better suggestions on graphics I can try something else.
