'''AS OF UPDATE 2.1, BI-WEAVE SHIELDS ARE NO LONGER IMPLEMENTED IN THE GAME. THEIR EXISTENCE HAS BEEN TERMINATED INDEFINITELY, AND NO DATE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THE RE-ADDITION OF THIS ITEM. FURTHERMORE, PILOTS WHO HAVE HAD BI-WEAVE SHIELDS USED ON THEIR SHIPS WILL FIND THAT THEY NO LONGER ARE EQUIPPED, AND WILL HAVE TO BUY NEW SHIELDS.'''
The '''Bi-Weave Shield Generator''' (BWSG) is an alternative [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Generator 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.
 
 
 
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.

* 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.
