Strategies
Big Shield is recommended for use on ships with at least three blue slot points and two blue slots, as not many people like sacrificing the speed from Turbo for extra hitpoints. A more popular combo is Standard Shield and Turbo, so you get both extra hitpoints and speed.
Big Shield is also great on Defender if you do want a lot of hitpoints and want an extremely aggressive playstyle so you can do a defender charge and wipe out the other team all at once with heavy-hitting weapons. However, this takes a lot of practice to know how and when to do, and you always need backup from your team unless the situation is extremely dire.

Trivia
Big Shield and Big Bandage are the only blue slot items to use two slot points.
