Console - Science - Field Generator

The Field Generator is a Science Console that increases maximum shield capacity.

Field Generators increase your maximum shield capacity by adding to your skill.

The shield capacity bonus from this console stacks when used in multiple slots. It also stacks additively with the innate +30% shield capacity bonus on science ships. Equipping this console on a science ship will therefore result in an +26.9% increase in its overall shield capacity for the +18% console or +30.8% for the +20% console. Beware that the shield capacities reported on the tooltip of shield arrays will already factor in the science ship bonus if that ship is currently active.

Stats
Each increase in Mark level or quality increases Maximum Shield Capacity by 1.25% from the previous, an equivalent boost of 4.1(6) points in the skill. At its highest potential it will provide 26.25% Maximum Shield Capacity, an equivalent 87.5 points in the Shield Capacity skill.

Obtaining
Field Generators cannot be obtained from item containers.

Variants
Bellum and Pax variants of this console can be obtained from the Discovery Legends reputation system. These have the same Shield Capacity increase as above, plus an additional boost to Critical Hit Chance or Hull Capacity, respectively.
