 ===== Function and Design ===== ===== Function and Design =====
-The Shield Boosting pods are medium-weight pods to be attached to hardpoints on fighters and small craft which augment existing shield types. These pods boost shields to the maximum amount a small craft can sustain. In terms of [[guide:damage_rating_v3#more_powerful_armor_and_barriers|extra capacity]], it automatically makes a secondary shield bubble of the same strength as the craft's own shielding systems, and can even function when the original shields have been overloaded. There is a major drawback, however, and that is that these pods take a major energy draw. As such, when the Shield boosting pod is activated, a craft's speed will be reduced by around 15%, trading speed for protection, in essence. +The Shield Boosting pods are medium-weight pods to be attached to hardpoints on fighters and small craft which augment existing shield types.

 Multiple pods may be added to a single craft, if it can mount them, but each additional pod reduces top speed by 15% again, though no more than four total pods may be added to a single craft. Multiple pods may be added to a single craft, if it can mount them, but each additional pod reduces top speed by 15% again, though no more than four total pods may be added to a single craft.
