Shield recharge rate follows same formula as [[capacitor recharge rate]].

Recharge time does not depend on shield capacity. This means that if two ships have the same RT and one has more shield capacity, then the one with the larger capacity will recharge faster.

The peak recharge Rate is  250% of average shield recharge. It occurs when the capacity of the shield is at 25% of its maximum value.
