Aegis
Aegis: A planetary shield that takes damage before units and regenerates 35% of its maximum each hour.
How to use it
A planetary shield that takes damage before units and regenerates 35% of its maximum each hour.
Each level raises maximum shield strength. Combat damage is removed from Aegis before it reaches ships or ground guns, and the shield regenerates 35% of its maximum per hour without resources. It gathers no intelligence.
Requirements & connections
Requires a local Command Core supporting the level being installed. It does not require Uplink.
Installation uses this planet’s Construction queue and Store resources, but no orbit slot. Instruments provide different functions: warnings, remote observation, shielding or concealment. Choose the function you need; one does not replace the others.
