What are Peace Shields?
Peace Shields prevent enemy ships from attacking your Station. They are temporary and will dissipate over time. When you have a shield active, a timer appears next to the Peace Shield icon on the right side of your screen, showing how much time remains before it expires.

What is the Free 10-Minute Peace Shield?
After the first attack on your Station, a free 10-minute Peace Shield is automatically activated. This protection only triggers once every two hours. If multiple players attack within that window, the shield will only activate after the very first attack. The free shield prevents further attacks for 10 minutes, giving you enough time to apply a longer shield for continued protection.

How can I activate a Peace Shield manually?
You can manually activate a Peace Shield by tapping the Shield icon on the right side of your screen.

Another option is to open your Items, go to the Other tab, and select a Peace Shield from your inventory.

 Shields come in different lengths, so choose the one that suits your needs. Keep in mind that activating a new shield does not stack with your current one — if the new shield is longer, it overwrites the old one. If it is shorter, you cannot activate it at all. Also note that attacking another player’s ship or station will immediately disable your shield, regardless of the time remaining.

How can a Peace Shield be deactivated?
Targeting another player’s ship or station will automatically deactivate your Peace Shield. The game provides a warning before this happens. If you’re unsure whether your shield has just been deactivated, restart the app to refresh the timer and confirm the actual status of your shield.
