The Saber Class Shield Generator support ship adds shields and bonus combat mass to other ships belonging to the same player. Up to two shield generators can work together to give these bonuses. Each SSG contributes an extra 25% boost to total shield strength, and will also regenerate 25% of a ship's shields in between combat. Each will also add to the combat mass, using 50% of the Engine Shield Bonus.
Despite the ability not being listed, the new Saber still possesses a Glory Device and can still detonate at will (or upon cloak detection, if desired).
Engine Shield Bonus
Engine Shield Bonus works by adding to a ship's combat mass. This bonus combat mass is calculated by taking the MC cost of the engine on a ship, and adding it to the combat mass.
For example, the Transwarp Drive costs 300 MC. Since the Saber will add 50% engine shield bonus, it adds +150 kt to the ship being shielded. If there are two Saber Shield Generators, the bonus combat mass will be +300 kt.
This extra combat mass can make a huge difference in combat, because it will greatly reduce the damage done by enemy torpedoes and beams. If it increases a ship's mass above 320 kt, the ship will take only 1 damage per fighter hit.
