Meteors should come later

[misto]

How about!: A system called MeteorOS on the communications console! That takes 100 seconds to activate and creates an invisible (or visible but laggy) meteor shield around the station!

maybe the outer hull could just be studded with meteor shield generators, and can be activated from terminals in the relevant departments. no need to power up a whole-station shield every time since they typically come from just one direction. then the power grid could recharge the shield generators, if its still running.

this also makes power grid sabotage and meteor shield/shield terminal sabotage tasty inter-related mischief prospects
