GenCores are responsible for generating planetary shields to protect the system from orbital bombardment. Type II GenCores provide 50% more shielding power than the older Type I's and are cheaper to maintain. | |||||
Build Cost: | 20 | Maintenance: | 7 | Research Level: | 6 |
Shield Strength: | 80 | Weapon Power: | - | Bombardment Defense: | 3 |
Notes: | Provides twice as much protection as a Level I shield (despite the description). An attacking fleet must overcome the cumulative shield power with its combined bombardment rating to do any damage. Two or more shield installations on a planet prevent a ground assault. |
