| Prerequisites:
|
Power Grid Management III |
| I required for:
|
T1 and Faction shield transporters |
| II required for:
|
Micro shield transporter II |
| III required for:
|
Small shield transporter II; T1 Light, medium and heavy shield maintenance bots |
| IV required for:
|
Medium and Large shield transporter II; T2 Light, medium and heavy shield maintenance bots |
| V required for:
|
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. |

|
Power Grid Management III |
| I required for:
|
T1 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 Operation
Skill at operating a spaceship's shield systems, including the use of shield boosters and other basic shield modules. 5% reduction in shield recharge time per skill level.

| V required for:
|
X-Lage shield booster II; Capital Shield Operation; Caldari Defensive Systems |
| Notes:
|
Important shield support skill, especially for passive regeneration shield tanks. Level V is required to use T2 X-large shield boosters. |

| I required for:
|
T1 and Faction shield extenders and hardener amplifiers |
| II required for:
|
Micro shield extender II |
| III required for:
|
Small shield extender II; T1 shield rechargers |
| IV required for:
|
T2 shield rechargers, extenders and hardener amplifiers |
| 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.

IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
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
5% bonus to thermal resistance per level for Shield Amplifiers
