Shield overspill was added in FAF iirc, so I assume that it was added for a reason.
stacking shields in general is op without overspill, you take out one shield and another full hp one is behind it (and another one after that, and another after, and...), in steam FA bases can become basically unkillable other than with nukes or air crash

@jip would be cool way to make arties less effective but that would be a fat buff to firebases and bulwarks

Don’t forget parashield and asylum stacking god bless

You could make it work only for artillery. Wouldn't be unique - the xbox game even ships a UEF Artillery shield. All of the logic is all in the source code already, just unused
-
Overspill only working for arty would still be ridiculous buffs to mobile shields, to the point Cybran is probably completely irrelevant as a faction.
-
Its actually insane that there was no downside to nesting shields into shields in base FAF, that sounds like an unplayable game

Petition to bring all Xbox units and structure into FAF.
An another hand, the overspill damage rework for only base shields, sounds like a great change.
Would this be only made available to Cybran to "Fix" their shields? Or to all factions?

It would be common to all (structure-based) shields - or we shouldn't do it. Otherwise the game becomes more difficult to understand.

You don't need to go as far as base game, go back a few years in FAF and a double/triple stack of UEF T2 shields would not even break to a GC taking a walk into them.
