I was thinking that a deployable energy shield would be a nifty new addition to the armaments.

It would function like the rotary cannons

It would take a moment or two to spin up but once deployed it would gradually heat up your mech to the point you shut down.

The more damage it takes the faster it would heat your mech to the point of shut down.

Once it over heats into the red you have to wait till it's completely cooled before you can deploy again.

Also you can't shoot through the shield at your enemies.

This would add some interesting options for battle lances for the larger heavy mechs to act as tanks and such to encourage more team tactics.
