Power Armor Deployable Energy Shield

[HallLytton]

So, I just came across a dual-wielding mod in a video, and while on here poking around, I was also in the power armors section just to see what all was knew in there. Suddenly my brain had a flash of inspiration and I thought to myself, is there a mod on here that produces an energy shield similar to that of Reinhardt on Overwatch, where you can hold the left trigger while in a power armor to deploy a mobile energy barrier? I haven't found anything of the sort, yet, or obviously I wouldn't be here. But there are a few interesting possibilities insofar as gameplay mechanics. For example:

 

1) Does the shield drain energy from your fusion core at an increased rate while deployed?

 

2) Does the energy shield only work against energy weapons?

 

3) Would a system similar to The Juger Pistols mod be used to make it so that scopes are disabled while in power armors?

 

4a) Would the shield be unusable while wielding a two-handed "heavy" weapon like a chain-gun or flamer?

 

4b) If so, would it be possible to use the shield or the heavy weapon, but not both simultaneously as you could do with a 'lighter' firearm like a pistol or rifle?

5) Would the shield provide full cover or merely damage mitigation?

 

6) How much surface-area would the shield provide cover for, and would it clip with the environment or only interact with damage effects?

7) Would this shield be a modification for power armor-crafting or would it be standard with all power armors?

If anyone decides this sounds like an interesting challenge, please let me know so I can begin looking out for any progress made -- I'm very curious to see how something like this would take shape. Honestly, I'm surprised something like this hadn't materialized sooner; there are some crazy-brilliant modders out there.
