The usual starting point is to try to fill several low slots with Shield Power Relay modules, several mid slots with Shield Extender modules, and to fit all three rig slots with Defense Field Purger rigs. Of course, this will need to be modified to fit slot availability, | The usual starting point is to try to fill several low slots with Shield Power Relay modules, several mid slots with Shield Extender modules, and to fit all three rig slots with Defense Field Purger rigs. Of course, this will need to be modified to fit slot availability, resists and other considerations, but it is a good place to start. | ||
With that in mind, although <span style="color:#eeffcc">Shield Power Relays</span> reduce capacitor recharge rate, they have no stacking penalties, and they are the most powerful modules in terms of increasing shield regeneration. | With that in mind, although <span style="color:#eeffcc">Shield Power Relays</span> reduce capacitor recharge rate, they have no stacking penalties, and they are the most powerful modules in terms of increasing shield regeneration. | ||

Finally,<span style="color:#eeffcc"> Defense Field Purger rigs</span> are almost always more effective than Defense Field Extender rigs in a passive shield fit. The extender increases the capacity of the shield, which does have the effect of also increasing its recharge rate. However, the Purger directly increases the recharge rate by enough to make a difference. The Purger does, however, have a larger impact on Signature Radius. | Finally,<span style="color:#eeffcc"> Defense Field Purger rigs</span> are almost always more effective than Defense Field Extender rigs in a passive shield fit.

{{Color box | color=#222222 | border=#ffeeee | A tank built from these modules will greatly increase the shield recharge rate, will somewhat increase the shield capacity, will have no stacking penalties, will increase the ship's Signature Radius, and will reduce the Capacitor's recharge time (but will not draw directly on the Capacitor for power).}} | {{Color box | color=#222222 | border=#ffeeee | A tank built from these modules will greatly increase the shield recharge rate, will somewhat increase the shield capacity, will have no stacking penalties, will increase the ship's Signature Radius, and will reduce the Capacitor's recharge time (but will not draw directly on the Capacitor for power). | ||
Without the use of modules that incur stacking penalties, the calculation for passive shield regeneration rate is multiplicative; the more fittings added, the greater effect each fitting has. | |||
