Cargo Shielding Attribute
Cargo Shielding is an attribute that allows the items onboard your ship to be protected from being stolen through hacking and/or looted from an attacking player. Cargo Shielding is very dependent on your ship's Cargo Space as it will take into account the amount of items you have onboard. The un-shielded amount is the amount of items that will be looted from your ship. For example, if you have 15 cargo shielding, but you are carrying 20 goods; 5 goods would then be able to be looted. However, the looted items are selected at randomly from your ship.
Cargo Shielding has a minimum value based on your ship's base value, but has no maximum value. The Cargo Shielding attribute can be found on Utility, Weapon, Engine, Armor, Shield, and Sensor Mods. Furthermore, ships have different base Cargo Shielding values.
It is important to note that the Cargo Space attribute go hand-in-hand with Cargo Shielding.
