Line 105:

At this point a buzzer will sound, to warn the pilot that the shield is at its recharging limit. If it continues to take more damage than it can hold, the recharge rate will drop off quickly, and the capacity of the shield will fall towards zero ... at that point the shield will fail.

The graph shown here is a simplified version of the [[#Technical Section: Shield Recharge Rate|Shield Recharge Rate Graph]]. A ship's shield begins at 100% full capacity ... the left side of the graph. As the shield takes damage, the ''rate at which it recharges'' slowly grows, until, when the shield is at about 25% of its capacity, the rate is more than twice what it was at the start. From that point on, if the shield capacity continues to fall, the recharge rate will being to decrease. If damage continues, the shield will soon fail.
