most used shield type

Positron, Graviton and Molecular. The three shield types each with it's strengths and weaknesses.
Choosing the correct shield is essential to your success.
Or not.
Wait, do people even think when choosing the shield type?
I go with Graviton. Just because it sounds cool. Also most of those shields are called "Champion". If they call it that it must be good, right?

I mostly use the one that's good against lasers.
If I am on an unlawful ship for duels in Liberty, I use the one that's good against Magma Hammers.
Can't remember what they're called.

You are telling me there's actual difference between shields, yes? I can't say if I saw any difference between those, even in vanillia.

I use all of them, depending of where i'm going what i know i'm going to fight. But mostly Graviton.

Different shield types can increase/decrease the damage you take from certain weapon types.
Plasma weapons, for example, deal 75% damage against Molecular and 90% damage against Positron shields, but deal 110% damage against Graviton shields.
The various shield descriptions you see upon selecting your shield can give you a hint what the shield is most/least effective against.
Personally, I have no favourite shield type. What shield I pick on a character always depends on what weapon types I am going to face in my ZOI the most. If I am mostly facing plasma weapons, as an example, my preferred shield would be the molecular shield.

Graviton is the best all around I find, its also very good on caps.

I don't think a shield type will decide if you live or die but I mostly use graviton shields because vanilla.

The Graviton used to be the best because it protected better against 4 weapon types, and worse against 2, while the ratio with orders was 3-3. I think Graviton has been fixed now, but people still buy it as a habit.

My friend taught me to get gravitation so i just kept on doing it for default setups.

Is there a chart of shields and their weaknesses and strengths?
