# This is a script to be loaded into GNU Octave.

# - Notes -
# + Be sure to check all parameters are up to date with game before use.
# + This plots *worst-case* performance, the assumption is that it shouldn't ever randomly fail.
# + The assumption is that there is one emitter per shield point.
# + Keep in mind that to prevent the generator being destroyed, either shield must be above a limit.
#   This limit is (level*2)+1.
# The timestep used for simulation is one second.
