Hardened Shielding

Hardened Shielding is a Kermiculite expensive upgrade that improves your shields damage resistance. Each level also improves the shield boost ability found in the energy console. Since shield tanking is usually how the Battlecruiser is defended, this upgrade is vital before Battlecruiser vs Battlecruiser battles.
