There are three important principles at work to determine how much damage your shield can tank passively without breaking:
There are three important principles at work to determine how much damage your shield can tank passively without breaking:
*Shield resistances will reduce incoming damage by a percent depending on damage type
*Shield resistances will reduce incoming damage by a percent depending on damage type
*Shield regeneration is non-linear, meaning how quickly it regenerates changes depending on how much shield you currently have. It's very close to, if not the same as the [[Capacitor recharge rate|capacitor regeneration]] curve and maxes at approximately 2.4x the base amount.

*Shield regeneration time is the time it takes shields to regenerate from 0% to 100% and does not change, even if the total amount of shield a ship has changes, meaning an increase in total shield amount will increase the amount you regen.
