Description
Right now the force field is limited due to it only being able to cover either a square or spherical area. Also it can only be provided by a single node which means that if it is destroyed all shields are lost.
Instead, it would nice to be able to merge fields to make a one big field. The actual merger would only work if the two fields were perfectly aligned. The idea is that any surface where two fields touch would just become air.
To keep this from being abused a shared secret could be used. Anyone on the outside couldn't extend the field unless they know the key. For added security this key could be rotated with digilines.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the force-field node implementation and its current shape and ownership handling. Done would require an agreed design and implementation for aligned field merging, access control, and optional digiline key rotation, along with tests for those behaviors.
