The Covariant Shield Array is a type of Ship Shields that has a 10% higher maximum capacity but 25% slower regeneration rate than the standard [Shield Array].

Covariant Shield Arrays are popular with players that don't put many skills into shields, and in PvP where burst damage can be extremely high, so a heavy shield can give you more time to put out extra damage.


Ship shield modifiers[]

Uncommon Ship Shield shields will have one modifier, Rare will have two, and Very Rare will have three, Ultra Rare will have four. All Epic Shields have [Cp/Rg] as their default fifth modifier, though this can be re-engineered into a different modifier. It is possible for shields to have the same standard modifiers more than once. The following are examples of Ship Shield modifiers:

Modifier Effect
[Cap] Increases Maximum Shield Capacity by 10%
[Reg] Increases Shield Regeneration by 10%
[Pha] Reduces Phaser Damage to Shields by 20%
[Dis] Reduces Disruptor Damage to Shields by 20%
[Pla] Reduces Plasma Damage to Shields by 20%
[Pol] Reduces Polaron Damage to Shields by 20%
[Tet] Reduces Tetryon Damage to Shields by 20%
[Ap] Reduces Antiproton Damage to Shields by 20%
Crafted Shields
Available on Shields crafted from the R&D Shields School.
Crafted mods cannot be rerolled via re-engineering.
[Amp] Amplifies incoming healing by 10%
[Heal] Increases outgoing healing by 5%
Fleet Shields only
[Adapt] When your shields are hit, Adaptive Shielding gains one charge, increasing your Shields' resistance to the incoming damage type by 2% for 30 seconds. Stacks up to 10 times (per damage type).
Found on Elite Fleet Shield Arrays from the Fleet Starbase.
[ResA] Reduces Phaser, Polaron and Tetryon damage to Shields by 15%
Found on Advanced and Elite Fleet Shield Arrays from the Fleet Starbase.
[ResB] Reduces Disruptor, Plasma and Antiproton damage to Shields by 15%
Found on Advanced and Elite Fleet Shield Arrays from the Fleet Starbase.
[ResAll] Reduces All Energy Damage to Shields by 10%
Found on Elite Fleet Channeling Shield Arrays from the Fleet Colony World and assorted other shields.

[Rad] Reduces Radiation Damage to Shields by 20%
Epic Ship Shields
[Cp/Rg] Increases Maximum Shield Capacity by 10%

This is the default Epic modifier for Shields.
The others must be obtained by re-engineering your Shield.
[ResA] Reduces Phaser, Polaron and Tetryon damage to Shields by 15%
Same as the mod found on Advanced and Elite Fleet Shield Arrays from the Fleet Starbase. Those shields may thus obtain [ResA]x2.
[ResB] Reduces Disruptor, Plasma and Antiproton damage to Shields by 15%
Same as the mod found on Advanced and Elite Fleet Shield Arrays from the Fleet Starbase. Those shields may thus obtain [ResB]x2.
[ResAll] Reduces All Energy Damage to Shields by 10%
Found on Elite Fleet Channeling Shield Arrays from the Fleet Colony World. Those shields may thus obtain [ResAll]x2.

Stats[]

Maximum capacity and regeneration values are given for common items only.

Shield capacity and regen values are modified by your engineering skills, so will most likely be higher than what's listed below, but should not be lower.
