Multi Spatial:
Over the last decade most major space faring races have come to incorporate a new dimention to energy based weaponry, The Phased Variance, or multi spatial variance. This in essence means that energy weapons now extend beyond the normal phase variance of our space time continum to effect matter on various levels of the phase spectrum. In order to negate this effect an adaptation of Multi Spatial Shielding, first used on Voyager, has been created and incorporated into the existing shield matrix.
The effect of this upgrade creates a "Layered" effect of different phase variances. So, for example, if a phaser with a phase variance of 3 is fired on the sheild it will go past (not interact with) layers 1 and 2, impact 3 and if not stopped continue to pass through 4 5 6 7 8 9 and so on. The number of layers is based upon the Tactical officers discression but usually it is set to all the major and most commonly used variances. Of course, as with all things there is a trade off. The more layers you pile on the less powerfull each one is.
Tri Axilated:
The Tri Axilated aspect to this shield is, in effect, three separate emmiters sitting side by side on the hull emmiting 3 different shield grids that overlap and intertwine into a mesh build of three seperate grids, each capable of operating independantly. This is vastly different from just having One powerfull shield grid as opposed to 3 slightly less powerfull (but have the same net effect) as each emmiter is able to handle more of a load than one massive one would be able to.
Regenerative:
Since the begining of Shielding technology there was always the question of What to do with all the "surplus" energy the system had to deal with from incomming energy weapons. It didnt take very long to realize that this energy could go torwards the ships Own benifit (meaning the more it was fired upon the more energy there would be availible to its systems) Unfortunatly this simple problem proved to be anything but simple. Early field tests ended in disaster as many ships were quickly overwhelmed with systems that couldnt bare the pure raw energy makeup of the EM weaponry. The idea was abandoned until further technology allowed prossesing of such intence energy, leaving the systems to simply disperse the energy in the form of heat and radiation.
Recently tremendus breakthroughs with hypersensitive materials and advances in Metaphysics have allowed the rebirth of this avenue with sucsesful absorbsion and consiquent redistribution to major subsystems allowing for 40-60& increases in power availability during combat. A great deal of this new power has been commited back into the shield system minimizing the "cost" of dispersing a 1GW hit from 700MW to only 400MW. This allows the shield grid to clear its absorbsion cells in a Much more efficient manner (up to 89% faster) and thus "Regenerating" faster allowing for a much longer sustainable time period.
