Deflector Field

"The Deflector Field is primarily designed to deflect shots from Kinetic weapons."

General
The Deflector Field is the basic Kinetic-resisting base shield.

Advantages
Deflector Fields perform best against sniper fleets: most destroyers use Kinetic-type weapons to achieve long range.

This shield is best used on long-range Combat Modules since they tend to be targeted first by snipers as the major threat.

Disadvantages
Deflector Fields lack shield energy compared to the Spectral Field and Shockwave Field, making them especially vulnerable to carrier rimming, a tactic that uses squadrons to take out modules from afar. They are also least effective against Alien Damage which cannot be resisted by the three basic fields.

Trivia

 * Modules with active Deflector Fields are encased in a blue dome, which occasionally pulses light-blue but is hardly noticeable.
 * The equipping time of all old blueprint items for bases was reduced by half during the May 2020 update.
