Deflector Shield Upgrade is a starship upgrade.
Summary
Deflector Shield Upgrades, contained within Starship Shield Modules, are procedurally generated upgrades granting bonuses to the Deflector Shield of the starship.
Upgrade properties
Deflector Shield Upgrades grant a varying bonus based on their class:
- Shield Strength: Increases the Shield Absorbtion, indirectly increasing the Deflector Shield's durability up to 40% each.
This module can lead to confusion as a direct calculation would have players rather expect a +1.5 increase at 100% before accounting for starship shield class bonuses. This is not the case! The absorbtion uses the base factor of 0.5 to calculate the new strength which is then added to the base defense of 1 (SS=1+0.5*P% / 1+0.5*200%=2).
Up to three Deflector Shield Upgrades can be installed in each inventory of the starship. Installing four or more upgrades in a given inventory will disable all upgrades of that type until the upgrade count is reduced to three or less.
Crafting
Deflector Shield Upgrades can only be obtained from opening Starship Shield Modules.
Deflector Shield Upgrade can be repaired using the following ingredients:
Chromatic Metal x50 + Sodium x50 + Wiring Loom x1
Deflector Shield Upgrade can be dismantled after construction, returning the following ingredients:
- Deflector Shield Upgrade → Chromatic Metal x50 + Sodium x50 + Wiring Loom x1
Installing
Upgrade modules follow a static progression. The generation seed is used for all module families at the same time. During module installations it goes up by one. The new module they change into correlates to their order of installation. If the game is reloaded, the exact same pool will be offered to the player, no matter the order they install other modules.
Example: If an S-class module had 200 ly Hyperdrive Range bonus on the third installation no matter in what order the former modules are installed or their class, if the same S-class module is used third again, it will once again be the 200 ly bonus module even if the name changes. Only if used second or fourth the module stat may change.
