Changes: Bi-Weave Shield Generator

Revision as of 12:58, 17 June 2020

An alternative shield generator that sacrifices shield strength for a much faster recharge rate.

— In-game description

The Bi-Weave Shield Generator (BWSG) is an alternative shield generator that sacrifices shield strength for a faster recharge rate. Added in 1.5/2.0, the strength of this type of shields is equal to that of a D-rated shield generator of the same class. However, it recharges between 1.8 and 2.46 times as fast as a normal shield does, although the power draw from the SYS capacitor is proportional to repaired shield points.

Variants

6	C	40	113	3.1	3.2	8.0	540	1,350	2,696,589
7	C	80	131	3.5	4.4	11.0	1,060	2,650	8,548,200
8	C	160	150	4	5.8	14.4	1,800	4,500	27,097,750

Notes

Since shield boosters do not affect the recharge rate, they can be used to make up for the difference in overall shield strength, provided that the ship has enough power/utility mounts.
Bi-weave shields show pink colour when hit, which allows for an easy shield type identification, much like PSGs.
