I think it should look more like this to be honest. Light Multi-Spacial Shield - Shield +640 Multi-Spacial Shield - Shield +712 Heavy Multi-Spacial Shield - Shield +804 Or something near that. Your jumps where just to large. And maybe even add one after this then.  Also if you could post the description for the shields that would be awesome. lol yah i copy pasted them to begin with, and then changed the values hence the differences. I'm good with those values you've suggested.  Description: The Technology for these shields was found in a cluster of debris, on the outer edge of our galaxy near a spacial tear. Whilst still foreign to us, we believe that the technology will allow us to sustain much higher speeds of space travel, perhaps even allowing us to traverse to other galaxies, long thought to be beyond our capability.
Ok, maybe its just me missing something here, but what exactly does the shield technology have to do with the speed of space travel? though i like the idea, i think the description needs some work.
But i like the spacial tear idea.
Heres my take on what a spacial tear could do for our shields.
I could imagine Shields you would need to have finished researching the Mark I proxy-universe reactors to get access to.
Finishing proxy-universe MKI unlocks a mission (Those who have already finished-Proxy universes, would just get the mission, without having to finish the research again.) (obviously) that mission in turn unlocks a new research tier in shields on completion.
Here's how that would work:
The Mark I Proxy universe reactor fails catastrophically, starts overloading, and is ejected from your ship, when it explodes, it causes a rift in space into an alternate universe, this unlocks a mission chain:
(mission name)
Into The Tear.(example)
200 energy times 90?
1 completion.
completion reward? Suggestions?
(Description)
This is captain (player name's) log.
We had an unforeseen incident with one of our Prototype Proxy-universe Reactors, there were some malfunctions in the design, that caused it to overload and explode, we believe these issues have been fixed, we were able to jettison the reactor before it exploded and our ship took no damage. However, the subsequent explosion tore a hole in the fabric of our universe into an alternate one. We have picked up a distress signal, with a very familiar energy signature, originating from within the tear, we will proceed to examine this.
You finish the mission called Into The Tear, or Enter The Tear, or something similar to that, which leads to another mission, called Friend In Trouble
Friend In Trouble.
260 energy times 50.
1 completion.
Description
(unstable message)
Once inside the Alternate Universe you pick up the distress signal.
Help.. *crackling* ship damaged *static* venting atmosphere. *something-that-would-indicate-an-unstable-communication* under attack. *you-guessed-it* please.. render assistance. *transmission ends*
You begin traveling to their aid.
(mission name)
380 energy times 120.
1 completion.
Description:
When you reach the source of the signal, you find three ships engaged in combat in a field of burning debris, orbiting a small moon, two of them are attacking one, a ship that looks oddly familiar, it's the ship that sent the broadcast, they are asking for you assistance again. Before you have a chance to respond, one of the other ships opens fire on you. You return fire, and working together with this familiar-looking ship you manage to destroy the attacking ships.
After that mission is completed you get this message(appears in a window maybe):
Captain, the ship we just rescued is hailing us. (needs improvement)
-Open a secure comm-link. (this is you saying this.)
When the Link is established, you see to your amazement... Yourself... Your looking at a version of you from another universe. Incredible.
You are both equally shocked and amazed by what you are seeing, you stand there in silence, looking at each other, until your other self finally breaks the silence and says: Thank you. You have saved the lives of not only me, but my crew as well. if you had not show up when you did, we would for sure be dead now. We owe you our lives.
you: I'm sure it is nothing you would not have done your self.
"you": Nevertheless, i feel we must repay you. Let me explain to you why we are here. We are testing out a new kind of shields that we have been developing in secret from the rest of the galaxy for some time, that are meant to give us a decided advantage over our enemies on the battlefield. We came out here to test it, on what we believed to be a small outpost, that was supposed to be guarded by a single ship, of the (insert enemy race). But as we arrived we fell into an ambush. They had some sort of jamming system, preventing our engines from firing, so we could not escape. We managed to destroy a large portion of them, proving that our shields work, but there were simply far to many of them to achieve victory.
Let us repay you by giving you the research material needed for you to research and create these shields for your self.
Then there is possibly a little more Dialogue. also some of the details need some work.
Light Hyper Rift Shield. 54 size. 665 shield
Medium Hyper Rift Shield. 55 size. 735 shield
Heavy Hyper Rift Shield. 805
A further improvement to ordinary Rift Shields.
Needs a way cooler description than that.
This is basically how i imagine adding new shields to the research.
Some of the details clearly need some work, but its a good concept.
Thoughts or ideas anyone?
