As you know, the Shield Regeneration Rate [[Shields:_How_They_Work|increases by more than double]], based on Shield Capacity, as the shield takes damage.

Since this change is a percentage, a ship that starts with a higher average regeneration rate will get a bigger boost in its optimum rate. 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. | ||
For example, these are all Caldari ships. Many Caldari ships prefer shield tanks. | |||
