    I would like if we had a "weapon" that acts as though the asteroid/ship/station/etc is shielded(creates shield-hit effect), whether it is or not.
    It's not quite a flashlight, but could be useful for navigating inside when there's no light. Wouldn't require a lot of code, I would think. IMO, it would be an interesting mechanic and effect.

    The problem is that the shield effect has no shading, and won't tell you what block is there.

    I think in one of the dev Q&A Calbiri said something about adding more personal equipment. It wouldn't surprise me if we get NVG (night vision goggles), flashlights, personal shields, tricorders, armor, etc. at some point.
