Notes
I wanted to make a list of shields for myself so I could compare them before wasting my credits. Figured others might find the info useful as well, so here we are.

Shield info is taken from shield_data.json (game version 1.0.7).

I don't know where (or even if, for things like pirate or base shields) you can buy these shields ingame or what affects shop inventory. This guide is only to help compare base stats.

Hopefully I didn't make any mistakes when copying the info into the guide, but if you notice something off, please let me know in the comments.

That said, small fixes aside, I won't be going through the whole list again with every new version of the game that's released, so this guide will probably see little to no updates.

All the information here is to be taken "as is".
Abbreviations & Explanation of Terms
  • NAME: The name of the shield.

  • TYPE: Size/the kind of slot the shield fits into.

  • STRENGTH: The defensive value of the shield.

  • REG/OL: (Regeneration rate/Online) The base recharge rate of a shield, measured in shield points regained per second.

  • REG/BU: (Regeneration rate/Build-up) The diminished recharge rate of a shield during its build-up phase (see below), measured in shield points regained per second.

  • REG/DEL: (Regeneration delay on damage) The amount of time, in seconds, between receiving damage and a shield's regeneration kicking in; this countdown is reset every time the shield takes damage. This is a "feature" most commonly found on J12 shields, which mention "no regeneration when hit" in their description.

  • BUT: (Build-up time) A period of time during which a shield recharges at a slower rate. Build-up is triggered when changing the equipped shield or when a shield is fully depleted due to damage.

  • VALUE: The default/base cost of the shield, in credits.

  • WEIGHT: How much a shield weighs in your inventory while not equipped.

I got the details about how shields work from this thread, so feel free to take a look at that if you found my explanations confusing.

Great guide, thanks!

I believe that since this list was made, shields can now be upgraded. Now, usually that doesn't make a huge difference, but the Enken, for instance, gets +100 shield energy per upgrade level, making it go from a ok but not that good shield to one of the best easy-to-get shields in the game with upgrading.

thx u for giving out thiz info ;) Much Appriciated !
Rax Savvage 15 Aug, 2021 @ 7:27am 
thanks for this
Elegant Caveman  [author] 26 Aug, 2020 @ 9:00am 
No worries, sounds like something I would do. lol Glad you found it useful. :)
pringdew 26 Aug, 2020 @ 7:26am 
my apologies, i read the notes but by the time i read through all the data i had squirreled what you had said about the .json. again, you are right, i totally forgot i had read that...thanks for the info by the way....
Elegant Caveman  [author] 26 Aug, 2020 @ 6:11am 
As I said in the notes, I got all the info here from looking at the shield_data.json file. I have no idea if they're actually sold anywhere ingame or if the player can get them somehow, but I'm guessing not?

I just added them for the sake of completeness. I guess it can also gives people an idea of what they're up against when facing off against pirates.
pringdew 26 Aug, 2020 @ 3:31am 
how are you getting the info for the pirate shields...?
