	'''0.8i Class Particle Shields''' are used to protect vital starship components. The shield takes '''90% less damage''' as long as the shield's health is '''above 80%'''. A ship can use one 0.8i shield for every '''7500 blocks''' it has.		'''0.8i Class Particle Shields''' are used to protect vital starship components. The shield takes '''90% less damage''' as long as the shield's health is '''above 80%''', which roughly translates to a 2.8x multiplier in Shield Health. A ship can use one 0.8i shield for every '''7500 blocks''' it has.
