Particle shields prevent starships from taking hull damage.
Particle shields can be detected with [shield] or [particleshield] on the first line of the sign. Put the shield name on the second line.
Particle shields provide coverage of starship blocks and prevents them from being destroyed.
Classes of particle shields are spherical and have a set size, with the exception of box shields.
Particle shield "Shield Capacity", or health, is only based on the total block count of the ship that it is mounted on, not the shield's total size.
The center of a particle shield is the sign.
Don't spam shields! Every ship has an optimal number of shields based on its block count. You can see what this is for your ship via /starshipinfo.
Minimize shield overlap - explosions will deal the same damage to both shields at once.

Particle Shield 0.8

Particle Shield 0.8

Particle shield, class 0.8

Properties
Radius ~9.5

0.8 Class Particle Shields provide a modest shield coverage for small ships. This shield can be built mirrored.

Particle Shield 2.0

Particle Shield 2.0

Particle shield, class 2.0

Properties
Radius ~13.5

2.0 Class Particle Shields provide a good shield coverage for small to medium ships.

Particle Shield 3.0

Particle Shield 3.0

Particle shield, class 3.0

Properties
Radius ~21.5

3.0 Class Particle Shields provide a decent shield coverage for medium ships.

Particle Shield 6.5

Particle Shield 6.5

Particle shield, class 6.5

Properties
Radius ~21.5

6.5 Class Particle Shields provide a massive shield coverage for large ships.

Particle Shield 8.5

Particle Shield 8.5

Particle shield, class 8.5

Properties
Radius ~29.5

8.5 Class Particle Shields provide a colossal shield coverage for the largest ships.

Box Shield

Box Shield

A box particle shield

Properties
Minimum dimension 5
Maximum dimension 21
Minimum volume 256
Maximum volume 8192

Box Particle Shields protect a cuboid region instead of a spherical region.
On the third line of the sign, specify the dimensions of the shield (w) (h) (l)
The first number is the width of the shield, relative to the sides of the sign.
The second number is the height of the shield.
The third number is the length of the shield, relative to the front of the sign.
Dimensions must be odd numbers.

Particle Shield 0.8i

Particle Shield 0.8i
Properties
Radius ~9.5

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.
