Anyone can bring the vessel’s shield up or down as an action, at the Engineering Station.

While at the Engineering Station, as an action and using your concentration, you can put the ship in protection mode.
Whenever it takes damage while in this mode, reduce the damage taken by your proficiency bonus × 10.
