What do you think about adding shields as some kind of field that increases HP of every block of ship/base? (of course hitting one block would decrease HP bonus to all other blocks). It would recharge like hoover booster and should consume more energy only during recharge.
Shield generator block should be relatively large so that big vessels would have much stronger shields and faster recharging than small ones.
