Stolte Inc. Shields

UPDATE 1.3: Added more randomgen shield varieties.
UPDATE 1.2: More minor bugfixes.
UPDATE 1.1: Added Solarium Shield, craftable at the separator module. Minor bugfixes.

Shields in Starbound are a bit strange. Unlike other weapons of war like swords, there's only one craftable version, and they lack a lot of variety. In addition, there's not much difference between small shields and large shields besides a bigger number. This mod seeks to change that while making a few additions here and there.

First and foremost, shields have been separated into two categories: shields, which are your standard tried and true kite shields and tower shields; and bucklers, which are more agile at the cost of less defense. Both can be aimed now, but bucklers don't slow you down and have a larger window to perfectly block an attack.

Secondly, each type of shield has a few more visual variations to keep them from becoming same-y. More designs will be added in future updates. Shield name generation has been altered so that new shields will actually have a manufacturer like other weapons do (why was this even left out?).

Thirdly, as you may have seen from the preview, there's now a craftable shield for tiers 2 through 5 in addition to the tier 1 Basic Shield, which has been renamed the Iron Buckler, given a few buffs, and received a unique appearance. Each tier alternates between offering a buckler or shield, finishing with the Solarium Shield at tier 6.

Incompatibilities:
*Anything that alters either the randomly generated shields or unique shields. Mod-added shields will behave normally.
*This mod doesn't actually touch shield.lua, meaning it should be compatible with Aimable Shields in case you want other mod-added shields to be aimable too.

If you're looking for a weapon worthy of wielding with these shields, I suggest subscribing to my other mod, Stolte Inc. Longswords:

Have fun with your useful new shields!
