Types Of Shields

Just like there are lots of different types of Propulsion and Weapons, there is also many different types of defence shields.

Overview

Other Forms Of Defence
There are other way you can defend a ship or base without using the methods above.

Strong Hull
The first way is to make the ship or structure out of a very strong material. The main structure of something is called the Hull. For materials used by The Primary Races in their hulls click here.

Deflectors
Deflectors are not actually intended for defence but to aid in Propulsion. However, very strong deflectors can be used to deflect certain types of attacks.

Evasive Maneuvers
Evasive Maneuvers is simply when you try to avoid attacks. If you have a fast and very agile propulsion system this can be a very effective form of defence.
