Console – Universal – Particle Conversion Matrix

The Guardian Cruiser comes equipped with a Particle Conversion Matrix. When activated, your shields will become significantly more durable allowing them to absorb even more damage for a short time. During this time any incoming enemy energy weapon fire has a high chance of boosting your own energy weapon damage. This console may only be equipped on the Guardian Cruiser.
 

Desperate Repairs (Starship Trait)

After achieving level 5 in your Guardian Cruiser’s Starship Mastery, you will unlock the Desperate Repairs starship trait. While this trait is slotted, each time your starship is critically hit you receive a Desperation counter. Immediately upon receiving a third Desperation counter you will receive a large hull and shield heal and will be unable to gain Desperation counters for a while.
