It is no surprise how vital oxygen management is for a game set in space where you will travel across many planets and moons with inhospitable atmospheres.

Just like how Ballistic Shielding will stop physical damage, Energy Shielding will stop you from being harmed by those pesky, highly accurate laser blasts. Both of these mods are neck and neck, but Energy weapons just seem to connect their shots more. This may be due to their higher accuracy, making them statistically the more dangerous of the two.

There are a lot of resources, items, weapons, and more in the game. Each of these is something to worry players about how much encumbering effect they might have on their weight limit.
