Overview

Availability

This ship system is known to be used on the following ships:

Notes

A Paragon surrounded by a Fortress Shield, with distinctive purple color.

This system augments a ship's shield, causing it to produce 1/10th the flux for the same amount of damage received. On activation the shield will be raised if it is not already up. While active, all weapon systems are disabled and hard flux is constantly generated. Any surrounding noises will also become suppressed.

Fortress Shield is useful to lower the ship's soft flux while under enemy fire. It can be quickly toggled to stop enemy fire at the right time without the hard flux accumulation from leaving it on.
