Introduction
This OXP adds 2 pieces of equipment that work well together but otherwise have no dependancies on each other. The equipment in this package is also compatible with the forthcoming ShieldCycler.oxp and both oxps may be in the addons folder with no conflict.
Overview
The first piece of equipment is the Shield Equalizer. As the name suggests it equalizes the shields by transferring energy from high to low shield. This is completely AUTOMATIC and prevents pilot distraction during combat conditions. The noise emitted has the added benefit of alerting the pilot when this occurs. The second piece of equipment is the Shield Capacitor. Both forward and aft capacitors may be installed. A charging cycle is initiated when the shield is full. Waste shield energy is stored in the capacitor until the shield drops lower than the energy level of the capacitor. At this point a discharge is initiated as there is space for the energy to flow into. The charge/discharge cycle is completely AUTOMATIC and prevents pilot distraction. A loud noise similar to a high voltage short circuit can be heard when the discharge occurs. As well a countdown timer/alarm alerts the pilot to the status of capacitor charging.
Description
SERS(Shield Energy Reinforcement Systems) Corp. is proud to unveil the latest development in shield defense systems technology. Shield Equalizer(75000 credits, tech level 14+) helps prevent damage by automatically equalizing shield levels. Shield Capacitors(front and aft, 18750 credits each, tech level 14+) stores unused shield energy in a capacitor when shield is fully charged and when shield falls low enough to accept the currently stored charge the capacitor discharges fully and safely!!! When equipped with both the shield equalizer and front/aft shield capacitors your ships true combat potential will be realized! It's that simple!
Requirements
