Shielded Frame Shift Drive

For similar modifications applied to other modules, see Shielded Module and Shielded Power Distributor.

Shielded Frame Shift Drive is an engineer modification that can be applied to Frame Shift Drives. It increases module integrity, as well as optimized mass and decreasing thermal load, at the cost of increased mass.

It is available in 5 grades, with the highest grade offering up to 125% increase in module integrity.
