The Cobra comes with twin Zieman deflector shields. These shields absorb energy by reflecting it with an equivalent charge of inverse energy. There are two generators for these shields, one forward and one aft. The indicators showing the strength of the shields are labelled "1" on the HUD on the right. The four energy banks which power the generators are labelled "12".

Two standard upgrades can be purchased for your Shields:
*[[Shield Boosters]]
*[[Military Shield Enhancement]]

== OXPs ==
*[[NavalGrid OXP]] provides two upgrades (civilian & naval) to the energy bus linking the energy units to the [[Shields]].
*[[ShieldCycler]] transfers energy between your forward and aft shields (3 versions with 3 addons).
*[[Shield Equalizer And Capacitors OXP]] Equalizer recharges the shield under attack, Capacitors provides a battery for the shields.
''The following OXPs all make the game harder (and more realistic).''
*[[Breakable 'Standard' Equipment OXPs|Breakable Shield Generators]] OXP allows your Shield Generators to be disabled by a direct hit in combat
*[[Energy Rebalance]] rebalances energy between shields and energy banks.
*[[Hard Way]] hammers your shileds down to 25% when you are using your [[Torus Drive]]

-There are two considerations regarding the functioning of your shields - firstly, how strong they are, and secondly, how quickly they recharge. The Shield Boosters and Military Shield Enhancement further strengthen your shields. The Extra Energy Unit quickens the recharge rate instead.

+*[[NavalGrid OXP]] provides two upgrades (civilian & naval) to the energy bus linking the energy units to the [[Shields]]. In effect, the energy units provide much more energy to recharge depleted shields, so recharging happens faster. The grids speed up the recharge still further by increasing the rate at which this extra energy reaches the shields.
