No, the math above is wrong. It works like this:
  +
  +
1000hp x (1/1-0.45)) = 1818.18hp
  +
  +
activating it at no shields works like this:
  +
  +
500hp x (1/1-0.45)) = 909hp
  +

Go test it. You have more than 1450hp when activating the Resist Shield at full hp.

Resist Shield Cert Icon

The Resist shield does not prevent damage while active but instead mitigates it, as a result it is not adversely affected by damage received, making its sustained operational duration limited only by the size and efficiency of the power source. The Resist Shield does not stack with the bonus from Nanoweave or Flak armor.

Hints & Tips

The Resist Shield is in actuality a temporary version of Nanoweave Armor that is twice as strong and affects against all damage types.

Example:

Health 500 + Shield 500 + Resits Shield 450 HP (45% reduction) = 1450 HP (only if HP is maxed when activating)

If you activated Resist Shield at full HP:

1000 HP (Shield and Health) - (1000 Damage - 45% Resistance = 550 damage will go though) = 450 HP left

However if you suffer 500 damage and then activate, your total HP was 1225 HP:

500 HP (Shield) - 500 Damage = 0 HP and 500 (Health) - (500 Damage - 45% Resistance = 275 damage will go though) = 225 HP left

Therefore Resist Shield benefits a lot from Regeneration Implant.
