When you look at a ship in the shipyard it may say it has 30 shield units, but if you dig deep in the shďp-resource you will find it actually says 300 units. same thing goes with the extra shield outfit; in Resedit it says 15 units so ingame that would make 1.5 units. Three tons and a high price doesn't make this very useful. So it's important not to confuse shipyard-value with the real value used by plug-developers, which is ten times more.
When the outfit says it adds 15 points to your shields, it's no lie. It just fails to mention from what point of view, developer or gamer.
In my opinion, a more balanced version would be two tons heavier, ten times stronger and alot more expensive.
