In the novel DUNE, people make use of off-surface shields that stop things above a certain velocity from passing through and touching the shielded object or person.

Don't mind anything it mentions about the movie. NO! IGNORE THAT!

ps. Yes I know that shields in DUNE would explode along with any lasguns that hit them.

The main idea:
A bubble shield just for astronauts.
This could be put in StarMade as a new astronaut tool.
The shield should allow the user to move from cover to cover under fire for short distances. Whether this means a shield that can take a several hits or an impervious shield that lasts only a short time I don't know.

Sub ideas:
The shape could be like a 12 sized die.
The shield could be impervious to energy weapons, and require the use of a (yet to be added) melee weapon. Why can't ships use these "super shields"? Why, they aren't stable at that size! (Maybe that's what damage pulses are?)
This could/should also prevent the user from using their astronaut weapons. Perhaps it would cause you to take the damage from your own weapon.
