Appears to be a 7.5% increase in shield strength per rating increase. Does not directly provide a bonus in shield strength.Determines the Minimum Mass, Optimal Mass and Maximum Mass.The base shield strength is determined by the ship model.Īll shield generators have the same base resistances, regardless of class or rating: Only one Shield Generator can be equipped on a ship at a time. Currently pips do not appear to increase the recharge or reactivation rate of shields, given that your System still has available energy for the recharge process to consume. It is thus advisable to switch to 4 pips just before taking damage to maximize the shield's durability. Increasing System pips will increase the strength of the ship's shields. Over a certain amount above a shield's optimum mass is a maximum amount it can protect, at which point the field isn't able to be created. Above the optimum, shields work on a diminished capacity. Below the optimum hull mass a shield is rated for, shields work at capacity. Shield strength is determined by rating and current ship's mass. Larger classes of shield generator are designed to encase larger sizes and masses of vessel, and shields have a maximum rating of ship size they are able to generate a field around. Shields will not regenerate or reactivate if there is no stored Systems energy. If a ship's shields are entirely depleted, it will take time to recharge the generator enough to create the field again, a process that consumes stored Systems energy. Shields can be depleted by being struck, and regenerate slowly while using Systems energy. Note that not all ships will keep this shield generator mounted many NPC ships carry no generator at all, as well as some player ships that are not intended to see combat such as mining or cargo vessels.Ī ship with a shield generator is protected by an invisible force field that prevents damage to the hull, and the hull does not take damage from impact or weapon-fire so long as the shield is both powered and charged. It occupies an Internal Compartment slot. Forms a continually regenerating protective energy shield around the vessel.Ī shield generator comes with each ship by default, and upgrades can be found throughout the galaxy.
