Alternate defense systems
Description
It is possible to create a custom shield replacement (right-click activated) by extending the functionality of the phase cloak implementation. Phase cloak works by setting the Ship Data CSV shield type field to "PHASE" and designating the ship system ID "phasecloak" in the defense id field. This causes the ship system phasecloak to be activated on right-click. Different, custom ship systems can also be designated in the Ship Data CSV defense id field instead of phasecloak
Notes
Special consideration needs to be taken for the AI for the ship system as it is not treated as the ship system by parts of the engine. For example an AI that activates the ship system will activate whatever is set as that ship's system, as opposed to the ship system which is replacing the shield
