Selectable aura shapes/colors for defensive items

Hi everyone,

It would be fantastic if we could select the shape of aura we want from shields, coolers, and heaters. One of the most challenging things I've found with building ships small and large is using these objects in a way I find doesn't cause issues with the rest of the ship. As it is right now, only for very small drones does a single, circular cooler/heater/shield provide even coverage, but with larger drones it's nearly impossible to not create overlaps which end up unintentionally melting or freezing spots while also providing coverage of critical parts, especially since the body of a drone can flex so much during flight.

I'm imagining adding a 3rd slider to the piece would be easy enough and the slider would allow you to select from circle (default), square/rhombus, rectangle, oval, and maybe even something else such as an octagon (to match the core).

Being able to select the color for your shields would just be a bonus but I'm sure everyone would love it.

I'd love to see these get an angle and range setting; tailor the durability for shields so that less coverage means a tougher shield.
