Shield Bestowal is a passive upgrade to the already potent Advent Hangar Defense, unlockable through research. This allows the Advent Hangar Defense to passively protect nearby structures 4 shield points a second. This bonus does not seem to stack with other hangar's Shield Bestowal ability
A player might think that this upgrade would be of little significance, but an extra four hitpoints a second will be very significant in long engagements. In short, brutal attacks this upgrade is trivial, considering that most structures do not last long once the full attention of the fleet is on them. For countering AOE weapons, this can be very critical. For example, the Advent's Destra Crusader's Ruthlessness passive ability is completely canceled out by this passive ability of the Hangar Defense.
