Ship Shields

Revision as of 15:39, 15 March 2011

Shields are a critical aspect to any space vessel, as is obvious in most video games involving space ships. In Galaxy Legion, shields act as a second layer of health on top of the hull. While shield generators take up more space than hull modules and provide fewer hit points (Making them less space-efficient), shields automatically recharge over time when they take damage, which gives them a noticeable edge over Hull during prolonged combat. Certain modules can also reduce the recharge time (Thereby increasing the repair rate), making shields even more effective during prolonged combat.

They can also have a slight psychological effect against attackers, as players are more likely to stop attacking you if they keep damaging your shields, rather than your Hull. Five standard Shield modules can be installed at one time. Additional special Shield modules can also be discovered or salvaged.

Researchable Shield Systems

The following Shield modules are unlocked by conducting research into Shield systems. They automatically become available to build once the prerequisite technology has been researched.

Additional Shield Systems - Discoverable or Salvaged

These Shield systems can be found by completing missions or defeating certain NPC's in combat. They can be equipped in addition to the five standard Shield modules, providing additional Shield strength.

Shield Recharge Systems - Discoverable or Salvaged

These Shield systems specifically improve the rate at which your existing shield systems recharge (Repair). They can be found by completing missions or defeating certain NPC's in combat.
