[[File:QSG_shieldcapacity_dashboard.png|right|350px|alt=heads up display showing shield about half destroyed]]The shield also has a <span style="color:#ccffee">capacity</span> which shows how many hitpoints of damage it would take to destroy, or "drop", the shield. In combat this shows as the outermost of three red rings on the pilot's dashboard display. A ship's shield also has a <span style="color:#ccffee">recharge rate</span> which shows how fast the shield rebuilds itself while damaged. | [[File:QSG_shieldcapacity_dashboard.png|right|350px|alt=heads up display showing shield about half destroyed]]The shield also has a <span style="color:#ccffee">capacity</span> which shows how many hitpoints of damage it would take to destroy, or "drop", the shield.

In addition to stacking penalties the shield resists aren't added together directly. Two 30% unpenalized resist modules will not give your ship 60% resist profile. You can think that each resist module reduces incoming damage individually. With incoming hit of 100 damage the first 30% resist module would reduce the hit to 70 damage and the second resist module would further reduce 70 damage to 49 damage giving total resist of 51% instead of 60%. | In addition to stacking penalties the shield resists aren't added together directly.
