Subject: [PATCH] Shields Re-Rework Buff Shield Capacity (#4226)

Received a report that the re-reworked shields capacity was much, much
lower than the vanilla shields and didn't block as much damage. A quick
test confirmed this. For the rework, this PR buffs the shield capacity
to bring it roughly in line with the vanilla shield's ability to block
lolcannons + a little margin to compensate for the extra damage taken
from "blocking" rather than "deflecting" at less cost the shots hitting
the edges of the shield.
