Just to check - you can slap this onto anything that takes modifications can't you? I just wanted to check whether it is or isn't limited to those with shields already, essentially?

Cheers!

Correct, any ship can take shield upgrade. If an upgrade has a limitation, it is always clearly stated on the card.

Thanks, that's what I thought but I have been caught out in space games where the wording of increase shield rating required there to be one there already (and Zero covered both lowered and non-existent shields rather than separating) so I just wanted to check - the internal consistency seemed there but one bitten, twice shy....Thanks

Do what the card says, not what you *think* the card could/should/would say.

And above all, have fun!

There wouldn't be any sense in having Shield Upgrades included in Imperial Aces if the shieldless TIE Interceptor couldn't make use of them.

Indeed and that's where I start out with this sort of thing. However, no matter how useful said aphorism is as a start place, I have been burned on doing just that in too many games only to find out there is a ruling going the other way for something due to some convoluted track. Also, the subtle differences between US and UK English mean there can always arise arguments over what the card says. Fortunately, this one has turned out simple in this case.
