One thing about Omni shields is that when you bring them up, they go up in the direction of the mouse pointer, as if you had aimed them. I have often used this in campaign mode to save my tiny frigate from oblivion.

What I will do is bring the shields down, then quickly bring them up behind me, if I see that I have a swarm of Pilum LRMs getting close.


Not all ships are equipped with Omni shields. However, there are hull mods that:
  • make your shields Omni shields, at the cost of reducing their arc width
  • increase your shield arc
  • make your shields go up faster

I'm liking the sound of those hull mods...

Very cool!  :)  Sounds like hull mods are going to be pretty useful and powerful tools for ship customization.  They wont just be +1 to Laser Dmg or something like that, ha ha.    ;D
