I've looked closer at the system. Actually the shield system have many benefits and is simple in basic ways and complex in some, but more shield boosters will make the game laggier. (Build more mega shield boosters).
TRIGGER ANALYZE
PROS:
The shield system doesn't require triggers to detect missiles.
The missiles doesn't need triggers to detect when it hits structures.
The GUI has all possible removable leaks removed
The Phönix fire ability replaces unnecessary trigger detections (as in killing missiles)
Typing -sm uses my flawless slow movement system which does barely lagg (laser and anti missiles seekers still in a movement engine though)
Getting the shields down sometimes have a lagg reducing effect for unknown reason
CONS:
A lot of projectiles causes heavy laggs (partially elimiated in -sm mode)
Multiboard is forced into 2 groups (This builds up leak when only half the multiboard is shown for the players)
Building shield boosters provide minor lagg spikes
Very laggy shield system
Gold Spawn system
WEU GUI triggers leaks heavily by nature
Very laggy projectile system (-sm mode reduces it)
Using shield function which affects over shield 100 units at the same time causes heavy laggs
Anti missile seekers cause lagg the complex homing system (delay cause by long trigger).
Destruction/Upgrades of multiple shield boosters may cause lockdown.
98% is GUI (Movement system is JASS)
SCORE:
4/10: BAD! This maps isn't professional and only players with powerful computers can play this map and enjoy it, while players with old computers will experience minimal fps and will therefore be unplayable for them. Typing -sm mode will lessen the lagg in some degree, but still not enough. This map is at current state quite horrible and nooby. FAIL!
