Ship Shields

Ship Shields are a type of starship equipment that protect your starship against energy-based attacks. There are four main types of ship shields, three of which come with their own unique advantage, as well as several special shields given as mission rewards or purchased through the reputation system:

• The [Shield Array] has balanced stats compared to the three below.
• The [Covariant Shield Array] has a 10% higher maximum capacity, but 25% slower regeneration rate.
• The [Regenerative Shield Array] has a 25% faster regeneration rate, but 10% lower maximum capacity.
• The [Resilient Shield Array] has 5% lower capacity and regeneration, but allows for 5% absorption and 5% bleedthrough, as opposed to the normal 10% bleedthrough.

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.
[EngCD]	+__ Starship Engineering Readiness (based on current Shield Capacity Percentage) Found on Elite Fleet Channeling Shield Arrays from the Fleet Colony World.
[SciCD]	+__ Starship Scientific Readiness (based on current Shield Capacity Percentage) Found on Elite Fleet Channeling Shield Arrays from the Fleet Colony World.
[TacCD]	+__ Starship Tactical Readiness (based on current Shield Capacity Percentage) Found on Elite Fleet Channeling Shield Arrays from the Fleet Colony World.
Special Shields only (Crafted/Upgraded Mission Rewards and Reputation) - Ultra Rare only
[C/R]	Increases Maximum Shield Capacity by 5% Increases Shield Regeneration by 5%
[Rad]	Reduces Radiation Damage to Shields by 20%
Epic Ship Shields
[Cp/Rg]	Increases Maximum Shield Capacity by 10% Increases Shield Regeneration 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.

Reputation Shields

The following are reputation set shields, all variants of the four basic types above, with stats given for Mk XII. Each reputation track requires tier 5 to purchase shields, and each shield gives unique visual when equipped or placed in the shield cosmetic shot. Stats using an X multiplier also scale as the item increases in Mark level, shown in the table above.

Numbers taken from a level 60 character with no skill points spent, no traits slotted, no equipment but the shield, 50 shield power, and no specializations affecting item stats, in a ship with a 1x shield modifer (the Light Cruiser). Regeneration rates were 50% higher than expected, but the table is still representative of their differences relative to each other.
