New Shield Disabled Effect

Description
I was never a fan of the whole "shields down effect" concept. It seemed to me like, when the shields were down, they'd be down all the way, not a sort of electric shimmer all around the ship. When playing against human players, it only makes your unshielded targets that much more unfavourably highlighted compared to the other vessels in a formation. And making mods that relied on ships to have no shields at all (such as the Borg or Species 8472, or hull-polarized ENT-era stuff), it got really annoying-- fast.

From frostmourn comes a new shields-down effect that doesn't look bad when, as in the picture, it's a Galaxy-class starship you're using it on. In fact, it looks awesome. It's a considerable improvement over stock, in fact. I think there's a fair number of us, however, who don't particularly miss the old effect all that much.

Worth a look.
