Shield Boosters are pretty self explanatory; they actively repair damage done to the shield of your ship. These modules are relatively easy on the fitting requirements and require capacitor to function. This is not quite as efficient as Armor Repair Systems, but the short cycle time provides a good boost to the natural shield recharge rate. They come in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and X-Large for use on Frigate, Cruiser, and Battleship sized ships.

Shield Boost Amplifiers are passive modules that provide a substantial increase in the effectiveness of the Shield Booster modules, thus increasing the capacitor efficiency for the amount of Shield Hit Points recharged. It is especially useful to use a Boost Amplifier with larger Shield Boosters, since it costs a low amount of CPU compared to a Large or Extra Large Shield Booster, yet still boosts by the same percent.

It is especially useful to use a Boost Amplifier with larger Shield Boosters, since it costs a low amount of CPU compared to a Large or Extra Large Shield Booster, yet still boosts by the same percent. If capacitor drain is an issue, the Shield Compensation skill can be skilled up to provide a 2%/level reduction in the capacitor need of the boosters.

Training Shield Operation III will allow the use of Tech 2 Small and Medium Shield Boosters.

Training Shield Operation IV and V will allow the use of Tech 2 Large and X-Large Shield Boosters.

Training Shield Management V will allow the use of Tech 2 Boost Amplifiers.

Training Shield Compensation will help extend capacitor life time when using boosters. Train if necessary.
