(noob) Shield questions.

Ok so far I just been hauling stuff around without a shield.
Less shield is more cargospace


But, I took a combat mission so I will put a shield on my Asp.
I noticed that I can use different class shields.
Should I always go for the highest class that I can fit?
I have Class 6, class 5, class 3 slots.

Also, I wanna try a shield bank as I see video's on youtube saying I really gonna need those ...
There are different class SB's.
Same question here, always go for the highest class shieldbank?


So, Class 5 shield and 2x Class 5 shieldbanks?

I put a class 6 shield on my asp and had 2x class 5 shield cells; very tough.

Does the shield cell recharge?
Or do I have to go to station to recharge them?

Yeah they're ammo based, you need to reload them. They hold 6 shots I think?

Correct. Class 4 shield cells hold just 5 shots.
