List of Contents
| Module | Max Power | Shield Max Health | Regen Rate | Required Skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assurance SG-1800 Shield Generator | 12 | 1600 | 5% | Starship Design (Rank 4) |
The Assurance SG-1800 Shield Generator is the best shield generator we've encountered in the game so far. It provides your ship the most shield health of 1600. This will allow you to tank a lot of damage during space combat.
The shield generator can be purchased from ship technicians in most cities once you reach level 27.
| Module | Max Power | Shield Max Health | Regen Rate | Required Skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deflector SG-30 Shield Generator | 5 | 440 | 10% | None |
The Deflector SG-30 Shield Generator is the best shield generator to get early in the game. It provides the most shield health without requiring any skills at 440, so you will be able to purchase it even if you're not investing skill points in Starship Design.
The shield generator can be purchased from ship technicians in most cities once you reach level 14.
| Shield Generator Stats Overview | |
|---|---|
| Class | Indicates the tier of a ship part. Parts with a class stat can only be added to a ship with a reactor of the same class or higher. |
| Max Power | Indicates the maximum power that can be allocated to the part's function during space flight. |
| Shield Max Health | Indicates the maximum damage the shield generator can take before your ship starts to take damage. |
| Regen Rate | Indicates the time it takes for the shield to regenerate after absorbing damage. |
| Hull | Increases your ship's health by the indicated number. |
| Crew Capacity | Increases the number of crew members your ship can accommodate. |
The Shield Generator module keeps your ship from taking damage during space combat. During space flight, you allocate reactor power to it to increase its shield strength.
| What is the Class Stat? |
|---|
|
|
Classes of ship parts can either be A, B, or C, with the latter being the highest tier being accompanied by the best stats.
The class of your ship's reactor sets the class limit for the other ship parts. If your ship has a Class B reactor, you can only attach shield generators that are either from the same class or lower.
 Piloting Skill |
 Starship Design Skill |
To be able to purchase and install parts from higher classes on your ship, you'll need to level up the skills listed above. At higher ranks, The Piloting skill will allow you to pilot Class B and C ships, while the Starship Design skill will allow you to install higher class parts to your ship.
You can upgrade ship parts by replacing them at a spaceport. Interact with the local ship technician, and from there, you can purchase modules with higher stats. Equip them to your ship while replacing the old parts.

If you do not divert the maximum power to a shield how does that impact it? For example, if you have a shield with max power of 10, and health of 1,000 but you only assign 5 "pips" of power to it is the health only at 500? Thank-you.

Max power is 12, not 10. So if you apply 6 pips of power, it will be at 50% max capacity. 5 pips would be 5/12 of max shields.
