There will always be bleed-through from incoming fire but shields will ensure that this is reduced. Shields come in three classes:&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Class 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Generally has the highest “raw” strength but only absorbs 25% of incoming fire.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Class 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Has a good balance of raw strength and regeneration absorbs 50% of incoming fire.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Class 3:&#039;&#039;&#039; Class 3 shield systems have relatively low strength but very high regeneration rates. They absorb 75% of incoming fire. &lt;br&gt;<br /> (note: Shields absorb kinetic energy the best, directed energy weapons get 10% more fire through the shields meaning a class 1 would only intercept 15% and so on.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Class 1 shields:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> “Pericles” class defense screen:&lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: Weyland Manufacturing&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 300&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy Draw: 10&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regeneration: low (regains 5 shield points every minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 10,000 Guilders&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Type 37 defense screen:&lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: New Brisbane Shipbuilders&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 350&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy Draw: 25&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regeneration: medium (regains 15 shield points every minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 20,000 guilders&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Type 41 defense screen:&lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: New Brisbane Shipbuilders&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 450&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy draw: 25&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regen: medium (regains 15 shield points every minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 30,000 guilders&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Class 2 Shields:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Prometheus class defense screen:&lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: Ulrich Heavy Industries&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 250&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy draw: 30&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regen: medium (regains 25 shield points every minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 40,000 guilders. &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Phoenix class defense screen: &lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: New Brisbane Shipbuilders&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 300&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy draw: 35&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regen: medium (regains 25 shield points every minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 45,000 Guilders.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Class 3 Shields:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> Citadel class defense screen:&lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: Roland-Bosche&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 180&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy draw: 30&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regen: High (regains 40 shield points per minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 40,000 guilders.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Great Wall class defense screen&lt;br&gt;<br /> Manufacturer: Hanshen Imperial Energy&lt;br&gt;<br /> Strength: 200&lt;br&gt;<br /> Energy draw: 40&lt;br&gt;<br /> Regeneration: high (regains 45 shield points per minute)&lt;br&gt;<br /> Cost: 45,000 guilders.</div>
