Add the first dedicated shield layer.
Level 1 unlocks Deflector Screens; every level adds 2% shield strength to that module.
Deflector Screen Systems converts basic Shielding Technology into a mountable ship module. Further levels improve every installed Deflector Screen.
Deflector Screen modules for configurable military hulls and orbital fortresses.
Level 1 unlocks Deflector Screen; 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 ×2.1, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.
