I like this. A PPU would be awesome for a big team - he can shield lots of people at once, but the shielding isn't as effective as it is now, and, adding another PPU in wouldn't make much of a difference (aside from fast healing of individual targets), because everyone is already shielded. Makes sense to me.

On a side note can someone explain to a pvp-noob what "foreign shields" are?
