T1 and Faction shield boost amplifiers |
| V required for:
|
Shield boost amplifier II; Capital Shield Operation |

Power Grid management III |
| I required for:
|
T1 and Faction shield hardeners |
| IV required for:
|
T2 shield hardeners |
| 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. |
Thermic Shield Compensation
To active shield hardeners: 3% bonus per skill level to Shield Thermal resistance when the modules are not active.
