Barrier(#5304)
 
 Category  Shield  Level  4
 Technology Prerequisite(s)  Algorithmic Research Computer
 Project Prerequisite(s)  NONE
 Race Prerequisite(s)  ALL RACES
 Level  4
 Deflection Solidity  4
 Recharge Rate  From 8 to 80 (in proportion to the ship class)
 Shield Strength  From 164 to 19524 (in proportion to the ship class)
 
 This is the fourth level of shielding. This level is not achieved by many races because they never research some of the basic ideas necessary for its development. Basically, this shielding uses even more advanced predictive means to focus and protect.
