'REFLECT' SHIELD GENERATOR
Field: Energy (Generator) [Module, Shield]
Slot: High
Capacitor Usage: No
Level: Grm 5th
Activation Time: Passive
This complex device generates a hydromagnetic field around the vehicle, giving it an SH rating of 12. A vehicle can have only one (Generator) module fitted at a time.
SH functions like a combination of ER and DR: in essence, any damage that hits the vehicle is absorbed by SH. Unlike DR and ER, SH is ablative - damage is subtracted from it, and any leftover is applied immediately to the vehicle. Note that some effects can modify SH to give it ER or DR, decreasing the damage applied to the SH rating from certain damage sources.
At the beginning of each turn, SH recharges as a function of a vehicle's shield recharge rate. By default, all (Generator) modules have a shield recharge rate of 1: thus, at the beginning of each turn, your SH increases by 1, to its maximum. Some modules and effects can modify shield recharge rate.
Device Level Variants 1 Shield Generator 2 Barrier Emitter 3 Azeotropic Shield Generator 4 Regolith Barrier Emitter 5 This. 6 'Turtle' Barrier Emitter
