Shield System

Shield System
The Shield System is an important defensive system to defend your ship. It consists of 2 types of blocks, the Shield Capacitor and the Shield Recharger. It is much more efficient to use shields than it is to use hull as hull has to be replaced to be effective. Shields only require power to recharge while replacing blocks needs materials.

With the new Power Update, each group of Shield Rechargers has an area of effect bubble. The bubble is never visible except in Build Mode. If two bubbles overlap, then the smaller one is disabled and useless.

Turrets and docked entities are also protected by the bubble as long as they are 100% inside it and docked.

Shield capacitors only work and give capacity if they are within a bubble. A single group of shield capacitors cannot be used for  2 bubbles.
