In addition, since the shield regeneration ''time'' is constant, a larger shield will regenerate faster. What this means in practice is that modules that increase the shield capacity also increase its regeneration rate. | In addition, since the shield regeneration ''time'' is constant, a larger shield will regenerate faster.
