The Shield Booster increases shield strength by a given percentage of the base shield automatically and continuously once installed. It will continue functioning as long as it is powered and unbroken. Note that the Shield Booster is not a substitute for a [[Shield Generator]], and will provide no benefit if it is installed on a ship that does not already have an active Shield Generator. If multiple Shield Boosters are installed, the boost effect stacks additively. | |||

Template:Quote The Shield Booster is a utility module that is used to increase the strength of a ship's shields.
Usage
The Shield Booster increases shield strength by a given percentage of the base shield automatically and continuously once installed. It will continue functioning as long as it is powered and unbroken. Note that the Shield Booster is not a substitute for a Shield Generator, and will provide no benefit if it is installed on a ship that does not already have an active Shield Generator. If multiple Shield Boosters are installed, the boost effect stacks additively.

Notes
- The Shield Booster was added in the Wings Update (1.2) on March 10, 2015.
- The Elite Dangerous: Horizons 2.3 update was planned to include diminishing returns for stacking Shield Boosters, but these changes were rolled back shortly before release and never implemented.[1] As seen in the 2.3 beta, the changes would have reduced the effectiveness of Shield Booster stacking after a cumulative 80% boost, with a hard cap at 150%.[2]
