"This device affords additional shielding to the normal damage resistance of
a hull. More than one can be fitted at once and the effect is cumulative.
They recharge from the ship`s power system, and each shield takes a fixed
amount of time to do so. For example a large ship with ten shield
generators will take the same time to recharge as a ship with one shield.
The ship with ten however, will achieve the same defense as the ship with
one shield in a tenth of the time because of the additive effect of shield
Generators."

A Shield Generator is one of the best investments you can make, especially if you are
going to be doing a lot of fighting. Not only will it give you better protection, it
also eliminates the chance that a glancing hit will knock out your Autopilot or
Atmospheric Shielding, a problem that can affect even the best pilots.
