EliteDangerousAlmanac / Ships / ShieldMetrics

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Ships/Shields.cs:145

A build's shield strength, where it comes from, and what it resists.

The resistances are fractions rather than percentages, and they are unrounded. The stacking is floating-point arithmetic, so a nominal weakness of a fifth reads a hair off it. Round where the figure is displayed, not before it is composed further.

new ShieldMetrics(Strength, Generator, Boosters, Reinforcement, MassCurveMultiplier, BoostMultiplier, Resistances, EffectiveHitPoints)

double

The total shield strength, in megajoules.

double

The generator's own contribution, in megajoules.

double

What the boosters add on top of the generator, in megajoules.

double

What Guardian shield reinforcement packages add, in megajoules. It is zero with no generator, whatever was passed, because a package has no shield to reinforce.

double

The generator's strength multiplier at this hull mass.

double

The boosters' combined multiplier, which is one with none fitted. It is one with no generator too, whatever boosters are fitted, because there is no generator strength to multiply.

DamageTypeValues

The effective resistances, generator and boosters stacked with diminishing returns. The SYS pips are not in these: they belong to the capacitor, and ShieldCapacitor folds them in.

DamageTypeValues

The raw damage of each type the shield can soak, in megajoules. It is infinite where a resistance reaches the whole of that damage type.

Boosters: double

What the boosters add on top of the generator, in megajoules.

BoostMultiplier: double

The boosters' combined multiplier, which is one with none fitted. It is one with no generator too, whatever boosters are fitted, because there is no generator strength to multiply.

EffectiveHitPoints: DamageTypeValues

The raw damage of each type the shield can soak, in megajoules. It is infinite where a resistance reaches the whole of that damage type.

Generator: double

The generator's own contribution, in megajoules.

MassCurveMultiplier: double

The generator's strength multiplier at this hull mass.

Reinforcement: double

What Guardian shield reinforcement packages add, in megajoules. It is zero with no generator, whatever was passed, because a package has no shield to reinforce.

Resistances: DamageTypeValues

The effective resistances, generator and boosters stacked with diminishing returns. The SYS pips are not in these: they belong to the capacitor, and ShieldCapacitor folds them in.

Strength: double

The total shield strength, in megajoules.
