People want their commanders to recover in-combat? Give them shields!! It's so simple.

Like mentioned in the intro, Area Shield can be turned into a conversion module. Another option would be stackable Area Shield modules. This would let players pick the radius they want by repeatedly boosting shield range and may or may not change other stats. There can be other modules that mess with shields too, but for now let's not overdo it.

Since shields work very different than regular in-combat autorepair I think this can be a very nice "replacement" for the [i]old[/i] autorepair module. The current, [i]new[/i] Autorepair will still fill gaps that shields can not (like work while cloaking, etc.) so it wont need to be reverted to still be a viable option.

This might not be perfect. We don't know yet. There's a couple thoughts I had. Stackable shields may very well completely ruin Zero-K's balance.

solvable
by

"+100%

I couldn't think of a way to deal with this, [b]but[/b] it may not become an issue seeing as players would be forced to reserve most of their commanders' available module slots for shields.

I'm not exactly sure about this. It may not become a problem since unlike Thug/Convict shields, commander shields require energy to regenerate. For reference I'd compare this to Felon+Funnelweb pushes. Does anyone have experience with those? What do they look like?
