A few questions came up in our group and so I'd be interested in the wisdom of these boards to answer them. Let's say a solarian puts up an attuned gravity shield:
1) Can the solarian (or anyone for that matter) attack through the shield? (Either with a melee or a ranged attack).
2) Is he in cover against melee attacks coming from the other side of the shield?
3) (If the answer to question 1 is yes) Are his enemies on the other side of the shield considered to also be in cover against the attacks of the solarian (or the attacks of any other character standing in a space protected by the shield)?
1) Yes, the shield only grants cover, not total cover.
2) Yes, per normal cover rules.
3) No. The ability specifically states the cover is only one way:
The shield provides cover against attacks coming from its far side, but not against attacks originating from the side you’re on
