Mods

Mods can be used to increase the amount boosted. Shield Boost mods are percentages that are taken from the base amount and then added back to it. Example Base: 100 Mods: 10% Total Max shield boost amount: 110

Boosting Shields

When a pilot chooses to boost another ship's shields the following calculation is run: Ship Base Bonus + random roll between 1/2 total mod percentage and total mod percentage. In the example above, the boost roll will give the ally between 105-110 shield hit points. The boost roll can not fall below the base ship bonus + 1/2 total installed mods.

Critical Fail

There is a 5% chance that the shield boost roll will result in a critical fail, awarding 0 shield hit points, but generating threat equal to 100 times your ship's base shield boost amount.
