Ability: Extend Shields

Overview
Extend Shields is an Engineering Bridge Officer space ability. It increases the shield regeneration of an ally that is within 7.5 Km from the player and increases the target's shield damage resistance. Recommended for players in a healing role.

Basic Information

 * Profession: Engineering
 * Locale: Space
 * Game Description: Extend Shields regenerates the shields of the target ally and improves their damage resistance. Increases in effectiveness based on current shield power level.
 * Usage Notes
 * Be aware that the ability has a 7.5 Km range. This means that if you apply it to an ally, and then they go beyond 7.5 Km, they stop benefiting from the heal. However, targets can sail back into the 7.5 Km sphere and regain the heal. Hence, it is important to corral your team-mates (in-game chat/voice, or 3rd party applications), as well as being mindful of your spatial proximity to your team-mates too.
 * This is NOT an ability that you can apply to yourself. Therefore, if you only play solo content (namely the Foundry and story content), then this ability should be avoided.
