Protect capital hulls with a purpose-built shield.
Level 1 unlocks Capital Aegis; every level adds 2% shield strength to that module.
Capital Aegis Systems is an expensive late engineering program. Its module delivers the strongest shield-per-slot ratio but adds substantial power draw and mass.
Capital-class shield generators for Battleships, Titans and orbital fortresses.
Level 1 unlocks Capital Aegis; every level adds +2% module shield strength. Next level total: +{pct}%.
Research time depends on the Research Laboratory level, the Intergalactic Research Network and the universe speed.
Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2.35, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.
