shield mechanics

could you tell me what exactly does the skill shield mechanics? It's not clear what the description in pilot says about it. I have to take the Aegis and I would like to know if it is helpful to have this skill for that ship, for cubikons or boss aliens for example.

 

basically shield mechanics make your shields take 12% more of incoming damage making your shield/hp ratio 92/8 when maxed out this allows your hp to stay fuller longer and if you cube with the aegis and diamond youll be able to keep repping shields without a lot of hp usage and use hp abilities when needed

 

MachineGunHeaven, Thank you for assisting the player with their question.

Does the OP have any further questions?

Let's say you have only b02 on your ship and/or drones. That has a damage distribution of 80/20 which means 80% of damage goes to your shields and 20% goes to your hp.

If you are hit for 100k then this would mean 80k damage to shield and 20k damage to hp.

Now if you have max shield mechanics to make it 92/8 the same 100k hit would instead make 92k damage on your shield but only 8k damage to your hp.

Yes it is pretty essential I would say to max this skill out.

 

Ok thanks to all, the post can be closed.

 

Enjoy the game.
