The Field Generator is a Science Console that increases maximum shield capacity.
Field Generators increase your maximum shield capacity by adding to your Shield Capacity 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 Shield Capacity skill. At its highest potential it will provide 26.25% Maximum Shield Capacity, an equivalent 87.5 points in the Shield Capacity skill.
