A larger radius will consume more power and be weaker than a smaller shield. The current radius decides the power usage as well as how much damage it can take. The limitation of the offset is that the shield still has to cover the shield generator itself. Shields can be scaled by radius, as well as offset from the generator, so generators do not need to be in the center of the shield itself. Shields also produce more heat based on how stressed they are, so having them cooled a good amount below 0C (-20C to -40C) is suggested. If the ambient temperature is above 0C, it will begin to generate stress passively and eventually overload. Shields passively produce heat, and require the ambient temperature around them to be cooled below 0C (32F) and the colder the better. At 90% or above, the shield will also begin to malfunction, allowing random projectiles through and randomly causing EMP bursts within the radius of the shield, potentially hastening the collapse. Stress affects and is affected the other systems too but at 100% stress, the shield will collapse and take roughly half a day to recover. Shields that take damage will become "stressed", this lowers at a rate based on the size of the shield and the generator powering it.
