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.

-UPDATE on bi-weaves in 2.1: as per [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=257892&p=3990998#post3990998 this post], bi-weaves have returned, and only disappeared over the weekend due to a bugfix that (unintentionally, one might guess) removed the bi-weaves from circulation. They are now restored back to being available like any other shield.

-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 the same class. However, it recharges itself 2.4x times as fast as a normal shield generator does, although the power draw from the SYS capacitor is multiplied as well.
