Bi-Weave Shield Generator: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:33, 17 May 2026

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.

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.

-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 capaicity 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.
