203) Shield Mount Scaling
"Light Shields" are no-brainers:
e.g. Bio-Electric Field II
"light" version is 50% size, but 75% dam res, 80% shielding, same
leakiness and regen, 80% costs.
Should be 80% size as well (20kt => 15kt instead of 10kt), otherwise
I would always prefer 2 light to 1 normal shield
(same space, 150% dam res, 160% shield)

I am really having a problem understanding this one. What i gather is that two Light Shields are better than 1 Standard Shield but cost less and take up less space?
Could you please explain this issue in greater detail. I am just not having any luck wrapping my mind around it. Perhaps I am just too tied.

KT size of shields are 1000 so this one would cost 20kt.
Tonnage Structure Percent := 80
The TS is 15KT so at 80% of 15kt the reduce TS % would be around 12kt. It is weaker and that is the way it should be right?
Damage Percent := 100
Shield Percent := 80
Shield Generation is 35. So the actual Shield Generation would be about 28.
Cost Percent := 100
Tonnage Percent := 2
again about 20kt in size
Tonnage Structure Percent := 100
Full tonnage structure of 15kt
Damage Percent := 100
Shield Percent := 100
Full Shield Generation at 35
Two LS would be 40kt, with a TS of 24, and provide 56 Shield Generation at 80% cost.
Two SS would be 40kt, with a TS of 30, and provide 70 Shield Generation at 100% cost.
This is what I am coming up with and I really am not seeing your POV on regarding this issue.
