Large Shield Dome
The Large Shield Dome is the upgraded version of the Small Shield Dome. With 10,000 base shields, it provides far superior protection for your defence network. Only one can be built per planet, just like its smaller counterpart.

Limit
Only one Large Shield Dome per planet. It replaces the functionality of the Small Shield Dome — having both active grants the Large Dome's shields only.
Minimum Shield Rule
With 10,000 base shields, any hit under 100 damage is completely absorbed. This makes the Large Shield Dome nearly immune to Light Fighters and other small ships with standard tech levels.
Combat Stats with Tech (W/S/A = 10)
| Stat | Base | At 10/10/10 |

| Shield | 10,000 | 20,000 |
| Hull | 100,000 | 200,000 |
Tips
Any serious turtle defence must include a Large Shield Dome. It's the single most cost-efficient defensive purchase against swarm attacks.
Shield Domes don't block IPMs. Interplanetary Missiles bypass all shields. Maintain Anti-Ballistic Missiles to intercept IPM attacks.
Shielding Technology 6 requires Research Lab 6 and other prerequisites. Plan your tech path so you can build the Large Dome before you become a raid target.
