ihs.apcs.spacebattle.commands.RaiseShieldsCommand

public class RaiseShieldsCommand
extends ShipCommand

A command to raise a ship's shields. Shields will absorb 80% of damage from weapons and collisions, protecting a ship's health. Shields are limited and once depleted will disengage and no longer provide protection. While shields are raised, they will be restored at a rate of 4 units per second up to the maximum incurring an energy cost of 1 unit per second (in addition to the normal energy cost).

Raising shields is a non-blocking operation.
