III |
| Prerequisites:
|
Power Grid Management III; Science II |
| I required for:
|
Tech 1 and Faction Remote Shield Boosters |
| III required for:
|
Small Remote Shield Booster II; Tech 1 Shield Maintenance Bots |
| IV required for:
|
Medium/Large Remote Shield Booster II; Tech 2 Shield Maintenance Bots |
| V required for:
|
Capital Remote Shield Booster II; Capital Shield Emission Systems
|
| Notes:
|
Shield emission systems repair other ships' shields. This skill is important for anyone planning to fly the Scimitar or Basilisk shield logistics ships. |

| Attributes:
|
|
| Multiplier:
|

IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Power Grid Management III |
| 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. |

|
| Notes:
|
Important shield support skill, especially for passive regeneration shield tanks. |
Shield Upgrades
Skill at installing shield upgrades e.g. shield extenders and shield rechargers. 5% reduction in shield upgrade powergrid needs.
| Attributes:
|
|
| Multiplier:
|
2x |
| Price:
|
100k ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Science I; Power Grid Management II |
| I required for:
|
Tech 1 and Faction Shield Extenders; Tech 1 and Faction Shield Resistance Amplifiers |
| III required for:
|
Small Shield Extender II; Tech 1 and Faction Shield Rechargers |
| IV required for:
|
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.
| Attributes:
|
|
| Multiplier:
|
4x |
| Price:
|
210k ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|

|
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:
|
|
| Multiplier:
|
2x |
| Price:
|
150k ISK |

Shield Operation IV |
| Notes:
|
This and the other three 'X Shield Compensation' skills (not to be confused with simple Shield Compensation) are low priority skills since they only benefit passive shield hardeners, which are very rarely used. |
