📋 About This Mod
Tau. Ceti Voidworks vs MetalTech - Heavy Shield Module
I don't know about you, but i've modded my game to make combat very hard, so just one shield at 1600 doesn't cut it at all. So then i have a mod to allow more shields, but they're very heavy. So then there's this.

The thinking is that this gets lighter and more energy efficient as the quality increases, but the price also goes up.

TCV Heavy Shield adds three new nif-bashed ship shields with 2, 4, and 6000 shield power, all 1x1 in size. They are expensive and power-hungry, catering to players who want high-capacity shielding in a compact footprint. With 178 endorsements and 23,386 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for ship builders.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 178 endorsements and over 23k downloads.
- Compact 1x1 size fits tight ship designs without sacrificing shield capacity.
- Offers a range of power options, from modest 2 to massive 6000.
⚠️ Cons
- Only three variants, so limited choice for different playstyles.
- High power draw may strain early-game reactors, requiring careful ship design.
- Nif-bashed models may conflict with other ship part mods that alter similar slots.
For Starfield ship builders who want high-capacity shields in a small footprint and don't mind the power cost. If you're looking for a wide variety of shield options or balanced early-game gear, this might not be your first pick.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your ship's power allocation before installing; the 6000 shield will drain your reactor fast.
- Use the 1x1 size to slot these into tight spaces, but make sure your ship's reactor can handle the load.
- If you're using other ship part mods, test in a new save to avoid conflicts.
