=== Shield Power Relays ===

Shield Power Relays are low-slot modules ~~which~~ trade capacitor recharge rate for an increase in the shield recharge rate, ~~resulting in a significantly higher regeneration of shield points per second~~. ~~This may endanger~~ capacitor longevity ~~when running~~ active Shield Hardeners ~~and is not compatible with Shield Boosters~~. Since ~~shield power relays~~ fit in low slots, ~~they do not compete as directly with resistance~~ modules ~~and~~ shield ~~extenders when fitting a passive tank~~.

Shield Power Relays are low-slot modules, and they trade away capacitor recharge rate, for an increase in the ''shield recharge'' rate – or more regained shield HP/sec. Note that they are exclusively used in an extensive Passive Shield tank, and even then on ships which have the many slots required. The reason for this is the hampered capacitor: this slows Shield Booster use, as well as to some extent, the longevity of active Shield Hardeners.

This module defines a passive shield tank. Since the relay modules fit in low slots, this means more Extenders may be fitted alongside them. On the other hand, this also means no low slot weapon upgrade modules for high damage. For these reasons, passive shield tanks are only used in controlled situations: to maintaub simple PvE, to sustain bait ships, or for heavy interdictors (which may not be repaired).
