Shields

Energy shields are an indisposable element of any ship's equipment in the Sirius Sector, be it civilian or military. A shield can protect it's ship against weapons fire, explosions and collisions.

Shield types

There are three different shield generation technologies currently in use by humans. The Nomads also have shield-like technology.

Different shields recharge at different rates, which can make a difference when you look to buy one. The regeneration rates listed here are in shield points per second.

Positron

Positron shields emit a field of anti-electrons, which quickly atomise an incoming bolt before it manages to damage the hull. Because of this working principle, positron shields are less effective against bolts of photons or lasers.

Graviton

Graviton shields generate a strong, vibrating gravitational field which deflects incoming fire before it manages to impact on the hull. Graviton shields create a magnetic field as a side effect, thus augmenting the power of certain weapons against them, e.g. plasma weapons.

Molecular

Molecular shields attempt to repulse projectiles by manipulating magnetic forces. This type of shields manages to easily dissipate electrically charged projectiles, but suffers additional damage from weapons that are little effected by magnetism.

Nomad Veil

The Nomads utilize organisms that function much like human shields do. These "veils" are made up of a lattice of semi-sentient micro-organisms that bend around the ship and intercept incoming fire.

  • Nomad Veils show no variance in how they interact with different types of weapons.

Ship Types per Shield Type

Shields are made for specific classes of ships, and can usually not be mounted on any other classes, however, there are a few exceptions.

Shield Type Shield Classes Ship Types
Light Fighter 1-10 Light Fighters
Heavy Fighter 1-10 Heavy Fighters, Very Heavy Fighters, Super Heavy Fighters, Bombers
Freighter 2-6 Freighters, Some Heavy Bombers, Super Heavy Fighters
Transport 7 Transports, Liners
Gunboat 8 Gunboats
Cruiser 9 Cruisers, Destroyers, and Battlecruisers
Battleship 10 Carriers, Dreadnoughts, Battleships, and Light Carriers
