I hear you want to change the scale of the shield impacts. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but I believe you can change the noiseScale value in the GetPixelColor function.
I tweaked the values given to the lerp (linear interpolation) function to work relatively well for large ships and medium sized ships.
Just tweak the 2.f in
float noiseScale = 2.f / g_ExternalHitRadius;
I think... it's been a while ^_^

My nickname is RC-1290. I write code, and help people understand the tech they need to realize their vision. I love it when computers and the worlds created on them seem to come to life. When software is close to being awesome, but seems to be held back by a few problems, my hands start itching. So I learned programming, to be able to make changes. I want to make life easier, more fun and most of all: cooler. So I spend most of my time thinking of ways to improve my work and the work of others. I spend the rest on actually implementing these plans.
