Notice that both ships have the same four shield resistance values. This is because the resistances are expressed in percentages. ~~Because the~~ Hurricane starts out with almost three times as many hitpoints, each percentage absorbs considerably more damage than will the Kestrel.

In each case the shield recharge time is an average of what might happen in practice. The actual shield recharge rate varies quite a bit in combat – this is discussed in the [[#Shield Recharge Rate|Shield Recharge Rate]] section, below.
