Shields!
During combat you must get through the shields and armor before you can
damage the ship. The bigger the shields the longer it takes to get through.
A ship can have no more than one shield generator. Each ship hulls
have a maximum shield level and the shield power can not be raised beyond
the hull`s rated maximum level. You can place a shield generator that
has a maximum power that is greater than what the hull is rated for,
but if you do the shield power will only be raised to what the hull
is rated for and no higher.
Shields drain some power from the ship`s engines and generators.
If a ship has shield generator damage the shields will only be raised
part way. For example: If a Crane X80 has 80% damage it will only be
able to raise to a level of 16 shield points. Damage to shield generators
and any other ship system can be repaired using ship repair units.

-
All Evil Empire ship get a 50 bonus to shields
except the Super Gorbi has a 100% shield bonus, but at the same
time large lasers and fighters fire right through them. If another
race owns the ship it only has 5% normal shield power and are three
times more likely to take damage from enemy fighters and heavy lasers.
