Would have been nice if it was available from the very start, but now it is far too late.

I'm a bit surprised by some of the responses here. People claiming they'd be forced to customize shields to not be penalized and face a disadvantage. They would not be "forced" to do this any more than with weapons now. Lets fact it, 20% on weapons really makes little difference, so many people don't bother.
Just make armor increase something small like +2. If you want the bonus, customize. If not, don't. There should be some benefit, even a small, relatively insignificant one, to customize a shield. As for the economy, its RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed anyways and so few people would customize that no one would even notice a shift. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of weapons due to customization, does there?
