| I required for:
|
Tech 1 and Faction Shield Boost Amplifiers |
| V required for:
|
Shield Boost Amplifier II; Capital Shield Operation
|
| Notes:
|
A basic shield support skill (remember that an increase in shield capacity also increases the amount of shield hitpoints you recharge every second) which is an uncomfortably long train to V. But it is worth training to V in the long run. Level V is required for T2 Shield Boost Amplifiers. |

Shield Recharger II; Tech 2 Shield Resistance Amplifiers; Medium/Large/Capital Shield Extender II |
| Notes:
|
A useful fitting skill, makes squeezing some of the equipment used in shield tanking onto your ship easier. |
Tactical Shield Manipulation
Skill at preventing damage from penetrating the shield, including the use of shield hardeners and other advanced shield modules. Reduces the chance of damage penetrating the shield when it falls below 25% by 5% per skill level, with 0% chance at level 5.

Tech 1 and Faction Shield Hardeners |
| III required for:
|
Capital Flex Shield Hardeners |
| IV required for:
|
Tech 2 Shield Hardeners |
| V required for:
|
Invulnerability Core Operation
|
| Notes:
|
When your shields fall below 25% hitpoints damage begins to leak through to armor. This skill stops that happening. The exact mechanism of the 'leaking', and the consequent use or uselessness of Tactical Shield Manipulation, are subject to pedantic and rather irrelevant arguments; you need this skill trained to IV to use T2 active shield hardeners, so train it to IV and then forget about it. |
Thermal Shield Compensation
5% bonus to thermal resistance per level for Shield Amplifiers
| Attributes:
|
