   Zone Overcharge: Controller Legends now have extra shield capacity when playing in zone

   • The Zone automatically grants an overcharge of 25HP shield capacity
   • This capacity is permanent while the player remains in zone (white ring area on the map)
   • Overcharge is lost when leaving zone (after 5s delay)
   • Overcharge can be healed with cells, batteries and abilities while in zone
   • If a player enters the zone at full shields, the overcharge pip will fill automatically
   • If a player acquires a shield core that overcharges beyond this extra zone capacity, that additional overcharge will still drain normally but the zone overcharge will remain
   • Zone Overcharge will never enhance Legend Armor beyond maximum (red) capacity
