{{Quote|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 [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Generator shield generator] that sacrifices total shield capacity for faster recharging. Added in 1.5/2.0, the capacity of this type of shields is roughly equivalent to a D-rated shield generator of a lower class. However, it recharges itself 1.5x times faster than a normal shield generator does, although the power draw from the SYS capacitor is multiplied as well.

== Notes ==
* Since [[Shield Booster|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 [[Prismatic Shield Generator|PSG]].
* The only possible rating for bi-weave shields is C.

[[{{PAGENAME}}]]s are high-damage thermic-based [[weapons]] that operate on energy. Once fired, a pinpoint laser beam exits the weapon mount and causes immediate damage to any vessel surface it collides with, especially at effective range.

Beam lasers can be fired continuously for as long as sufficient weapons energy is available or until weapon overheating sets in.

Infamous for their high power consumption, beam lasers belong to the most damaging [[weapons]] in the game. With their pinpoint accuracy and high penetration at close range, they are also highly effective for targeting specific subsystems of enemy [[ships]].
