Shield Tech allows your ships to take more punishment in battle. Each level researched will increase the shields on your ships and defenses by 10%.
Costs and Effect
| Level | Ore | Crystal | Hydrogen | Shields Boost |
| 1 | 200 | 600 | 0 | 10% |
| 2 | 400 | 1,200 | 0 | 20% |
| 3 | 800 | 2,400 | 0 | 30% |
| 4 | 1,600 | 4,800 | 0 | 40% |
| 5 | 3,200 | 9,600 | 0 | 50% |
| 6 | 6,400 | 19,200 | 0 | 60% |
| 7 | 12,800 | 38,400 | 0 | 70% |
| 8 | 25,600 | 76,800 | 0 | 80% |
| 9 | 51,200 | 153,600 | 0 | 90% |
| 10 | 102,400 | 307,200 | 0 | 100% |
* Boost is a percentage of the base Shields rating. Further upgrades are possible. With each level the costs double and the effect increases by 10%.
Ineffectiveness rule: Any attack that does less than 1% of the maximum shielding capacity of the target is absorbed with no effect on the target. As an example, The Artemis Class has a base attack of 50. The Large Decoy has a base shielding of 10,000. Since 50/10,000 = 0.005 (one half of one percent), this means an Artemis could never damage a Large Decoy that still has its shield even partially up. Note: this rule works off the base rating of the ship or defense's shields and weaponry, not the research-enhanced ratings. So the relative weapons research and shield research levels of the attacker and defender are irrelevant to the matter.
