Nano Shield

"The Nano Shield is a second generation Spectre shield manufactured using advanced nanotechnology creating a better shield at a lower weight. Nano Shields feature improved shield defense performance as well as enhanced Prime Shift preformance"

General
The Nano Shield is the Tier 10 Defense of the Spectre Division, granting resistance towards a damage type and absorbing the majority of damage dealt to the hull.

Like its predecessor the Barricade Shield, Nano Shields also enable the Prime Shift mechanic. Click the link for more details.

Advantages
Nano Shields do what Barricade Shields do, but better. They possess much more shield energy, as compared to their predecessors, and they are able to offer a greater degree of protection and absorb more damage.

They retain the ability to grant the hull the ability to enter Prime Shift, which gives it combat bonuses improving its effectiveness in battle.

Disadvantages
Just like Barricade Shields, the shield is unable to defend against Alien, Plasma, Void or Blight weaponry due to lack of RPS.

The Nano Shield is only able to defend against one type of damage type, meaning fleets with the wrong shield damage type can be overwhelmed with direct counters still as well.

Trivia

 * The Nano Shield is the Tier 10 shield defense.
 * Currently, there is a bug where Nano Shields can be equipped at the same time as Barricade Shields of the same damage type.
