{{Quote|An alternative shield generator that sacrifices shield strength for a much faster recharge rate.|In-game description}}
The '''Bi-Weave Shield Generator''' is an alternative [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Generator shield generator] that sacrifices total shield capacity for faster recharging. It was added as part of v1.5


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.

== Notes ==
* 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.
