{{Quote|An alternative shield generator that has greater than normal strength but requires a higher power draw and weight allowance.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Prismatic Shield Generator''' is a high-capacity [[Shield Generator]] variant capable of absorbing more damage at the cost of a higher power draw and a lower recharge rate than standard Shield Generators. This module is a [[Merits|merit]] reward in [[Powerplay]].
__TOC__

==Usage==
The Prismatic Shield Generator's shield strength is almost equal to the shield strength of a standard Shield Generator that is one class higher. This represents a 15-20% difference in shield strength between a Prismatic Shield Generator and a standard [[Shield Generator]] of the same class and rating. However, the Prismatic Shield Generator comes with twice the mass, significantly more power-draw, a higher price, and loyalty unlock requirements through [[Powerplay]], which makes it less convenient to purchase as well as more difficult to use efficiently on most [[combat]] ships.

Multipurpose ships equipped for combat usually have less severe power management issues and thus the capability to use a Prismatic Shield Generator in combat, although other modules may have to be downgraded to accommodate it depending on the ship. For [[trader]]s, however, the Prismatic Shield generator might be a welcome upgrade since most freighters should be able to cope with the power draw, especially since a ship outfitted for trading usually reserves its largest internal compartments for [[Cargo Rack]]s, which do not require power. The only disadvantage in this case would be a slight decrease to jump-range due to the module's greater mass.

*The Prismatic Shield Generator shows some green colour in addition to the blue effect when a shield is being hit, allowing other ships to visually identify the type of shield used.
