Shields

Shields are special System Blocks that can be placed on both Hull Blocks and Wing Blocks. Shields grant extra durability to the block they are placed on and can completely stop some lasers. While Shields do significantly improve durability they cost both CPU and Power to equip and can be destroyed relatively quickly by rockets. There are three distinct tiers of shields; Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Tips and Tricks

 * Shields can be found as early as the first level as rare drops but become more common as the game progresses.
 * The shape of the shield does not effect what it can be placed on and the different shapes are cosmetic.
 * All shield shapes of the same category provide the same bonus.
 * There are three different tiers of shields than can be unlocked.
