What is the shield loadout for the 400i? How does it compare to ships in the same size category?

The 400i comes with a single S3 shield that provides significantly better durability compared to other ships. When the 400i was first concepted, it had the largest shield of any ship of this size or role but, as other areas of the game have developed, the Constellation Andromeda now has the same size shielding. That said, the size and maneuverability of the 400i being better than the Andromeda means it is harder to hit so remains at an advantage.
