Shields

How do shields they work?
Shields recharge using the ship reactor, each shield requires a certain amount of energy to recharge at full speed. If a shield receives half the energy required, then it will recharge at half the speed. If your ship develops more reactor energy than required from your shields, then the shield will simply recharge at normal speed; as you cant over-clock the shields!
