== Shield Regen Equation ==
(Initial Shield to Regen) * (1 + Shield Regen Increase) * (1 + Shield Regen Decrease/Slow) * (Starship Regen Modifier)

or (ISR<sub>1</sub>) * (1+SRI<sub>2</sub>) * (1+SRD<sub>3</sub>) * (SRM<sub>4</sub>)

1: Initial Shield to Regen, or 100%-shield level indicated on your hud.

2: Shield Regen Increase, a factor not actually available in game as of September 5th 2026.

3: Shield Regen Decrease (or Shield Slow), Applied by [[Neutralizer|Neutralizers]] and [[Heavy Neutralizer|Heavy Neutralizers]].

4: Shield Regen Modifier, which varies by starship (if not listed, assume 1)

== Shield Strength Graph (I'm not done with it but I want feedback) ==
Every Starship at important sizes, shield strength given. Notes in notes folder, would love to know anything I'm missing & I need to run practical tests on the claims in the graph.

== Capacitor ==
The equation for weapons' capacitor is cbrt(blockcount)*3000*powermultiplier/6. An HT uses 2667 Power. 11951 blocks on an HF required for 3. Min size (6500) frig fires 3.5 HTs, min size (6500) MF fires 2.44. A warship can fire 4 HTs at 9713 blocks, which is why [[Attack Destroyer]]s are so optimal.
