Description

When working engineering, the written indicators at the top left can be difficult to read if they are in your peripheral vision.

Having the shield status on the top of the ship could be a way to make access to the info more reliably.
Having the same color code as on the other stations for shield could allow to see which ones are inoperational.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the engineering-station interface and the existing shield indicators used by other stations, then determine how the ship display is assembled. Done means the engineering view shows shield status around the ship with matching colors for inoperational shields.
