- | Typically, shields have a stopping value equal to their size class (1 through 5). For example, a light hull's shields will entirely block a very light damage or light damage weapon, but stronger weapons will only be mitigated and the excess attack power would hit the ship's hull. A vessel can improve the stopping power of its shield by transferring more power to one facing of the vessel at the expense of another (A light ship [2] could reduce mitigation on his front shield to 1 and increase his rear shielding to 3 while he is being chased).\\ | + | Typically, shields have a stopping value equal to their size class (1 through 5).

Shields, unlike a ship's armor, are much easier to repair. Usually, the absorbing capabilities of a ship's shield system easily recuperate after a battle with a few minutes of downtime. When in battle, it is possible for the ship's technician to restore flagging shielding through diverting power, transferring emergency power to them and so forth - though obviously there is a limit to how many rabbits an engineer and his team of technicians can pull out from his hat. | Shields, unlike a ship's armor, are much easier to repair.

Imagine for a moment that we have a power-armor (ADR) with a shield threshold of 3. Firing a weapon with an ADR of 5 at that shield would mean 60% of the attack is over the threshold of what the shield can defend from, meaning the remaining 2ADR would still strike the power-armor but the other 3ADR that were beneath the threshold would not. | Imagine for a moment that we have a power-armor (ADR) with a shield threshold of 3.
