Defense modules are split into 3 types: Shield, Armor, and System. Some modules have alternative versions that are either purchasable in Black Market, or unlocked after beating a sector.
Armor[]
Armor, a defense module, friendly weapons behind armor can shoot over it. The larger the armor block, the more health per cell.
Reflect (50-60%) seems to be the amount of laser fire that is mitigated. This makes all laser fire do less damage to armor.
Armour (2-6) seems to also do a percentage of damage reduction, not sure how much. (I guess that it's 20%-60%, but note Ballistic Armor is armor rating 11.)
It is not a flat damage reduction, since the basic 4 damage gun can damage armor blocks with armor rating 4-6.
Missiles appear the most effective against armor with high individual damage, no reflect and blast radius which is why point defense offers a 60% protection

Shield[]
Shield, creates a bubble of protective layer around itself, blocking projectiles. The shield lasts a fixed amount of damage before disappearing. Shields (except Bunker Shields) regenerate their shields over time but the regenerated amount is also limited. Laser weapons completely bypass shields. All shield modules are 0 armor, 0% reflect.
If you hit two (or more) shields at the same time, only one of the shields will receive damage. In this situation, the first shield that satisfies the conditions in the game code will be damaged.
