If Malorn's conjecture is correct, and the heavy assault class can overcharge their shield, then perhaps the shield could become even brighter while overcharged, but even this should only be one-third to one-half as bright as the current glow effect is.

I kind of agree that the shield is brighter than necessary; it obstructs our view of whom we're shooting and it just makes us look as if we're shooting the same electricity-soldier each time. I think it's a good idea that there's SOME kind of visual effect, so that we know when they have shields and when they've been depleted, but toning it down would probably be fine :-)
