	* The center of a particle shield is the sign. Because of this, parts of ships that absorb more incoming fire can be reinforced by placing a greater number of smaller shields in those areas, while placing fewer large shields will tend to make them weaker.		* The center of a particle shield is the sign. Because of this, parts of ships that absorb more incoming fire can be reinforced by placing a greater number of smaller shields in those areas, while placing fewer large shields will tend to make them weaker.
	* Don't spam shields! Every ship has an optimal number of shields based on its block count. You can see what this is for your ship via /starshipinfo. Going over or under this optimal shield count for your ship's class will result in penalties to shield regeneration and health.<br>Minimize shield overlap - explosions will deal the same damage to both shields at once.		* Don't spam shields!

			* Particle shields take damage based on how many shields WOULD be destroyed, were there no shield, due to this a double layer of high blast resistance blocks is marginally more effective than a single layer, and high blast resistance blocks can be used on the outside of ships to reduce shield damage.
