GENERATORS


Description
1. Each generator contributes to the planetary shield strength.
2. The generator power is influenced by shield technology level.
3. The planetary shields have to be reduced to zero by enemy bombardment before the planet can be successfully raided or bombarded.
4. Planetary shields under assault recharge slowly at the end of each tick (Turians have bonus here).

Strategies
1. Border planets, or planets under threat, should have as many shields as possible.
2. To successfully repel a bombardment, the shield must have 10x the power of the enemy fleet's firepower, or it loses strength each turn.
3. 1-5 generators can successfuly repel a starting scout's bombardment. Many more generators are necessary to repel more powerful fleets.
4. The generators built this tick only make their contribution the FOLLOWING tick, so colonising a planet with lots of generators when an enemy fleet is already blockading the planet is futile.
