Ae Shield

Important note: This mod does not generate energy on its own - it requires connection to any RF energy source from other modifications.

Next-Level Protection

The Ae Shield system offers sophisticated defense mechanics with unique characteristics. The main parameters are Intensity and shield tier. The total durability is calculated as the product of these indicators, allowing for shields of varying power levels.

Defense System

Shields possess four types of resistances, each corresponding to specific damage types:

• Close combat
• Ranged attacks
• Magical effects
• Other damage sources

The higher the resistance value for a particular damage type, the less Intensity loss occurs when blocking attacks. A zero value indicates complete vulnerability to that damage type.

Additional Parameters

Withstand Limit

When incoming damage exceeds the set threshold, blocking it will require additional consumption of Intensity and shield tier.

Activation Threshold

The shield does not activate against damage below a certain minimum value.

Recovery Rate

Determines how quickly the shield regenerates its Intensity after sustaining damage.

Hit Cooldown

After blocking an attack, the shield temporarily stops regeneration until the cooldown period ends.

Special Abilities

Different shield types possess unique properties that activate under specific conditions. This enables the creation of specialized defense systems tailored to particular tasks.

Installation and Operation

To activate a shield, it must be placed in a special generator. When under attack, protection is consumed from the top left to bottom right along the direction of the red cable. Charging occurs in the opposite direction.

When multiple generators are used, only one of them will provide active protection.

Upgrades and Customization

All shields can be enhanced and configured using a workbench. Place the shield in the device, install the corresponding kit above it, and press the down arrow to begin the upgrade. The up arrow allows removal of upgrades. These operations require nitrogen and energy consumption.

Nanite System

Nanites have special enhancement effects. Place them together with a memory module in the programming console and use the center button to add effects. In each shield generator, only the first installed nanite system will function.

Development Status

The mod is in early development stage. Unbalanced parameter values, suboptimal formulas, and other imperfections are possible. Future plans include complete architectural revision to improve expandability and compatibility.
