What I would like to have is a shield-arm.
You equiip it like everything else, it uses up x hardpoints on your arm (how many, can be decided later, I'd say all hardpoints on the arm!) and you can load it up with as much armor as you can carry, with armor weighting as much as normal armor.

Done.
That would be cool.

Example: A 10-ton shield would have 333 armor points for example (one Armor point is 0.03 tons right?).

Not yet. Once/if we get melee combat maybe give the option of shields or melee weapons.
