So, I did a search, but didn't turn up what I was looking for.
I have a python, and I know what shield cell banks do, but I have no idea what the differences between the differently rated banks are.
Example:
B5: Stabilisation rate B.
A4: Stab rate B.
So, other than the cost, power draw, mass, they are the same.
1. How do you know if a SC bank can recharge your shields entirely from almost gone? In other words, if my shields are almost all gone, and I use a A4, do I only get some of them back, where as if I used a B5, I would get more of them back?? See what I'm asking??
2. Does the rate refer to how fast the SC bank recharges after you use it? If so, what's the time difference for each rating (ED shipyard doesn't show this)?
3. Do SC banks use power all the time, only when you use them, or when they are recharging? i.e. if the power draw is 1.8, when is that being used...all the time? When you use it? When it's recharging?
4. Does allotting pips to SYS increase the SC bank recharge rate?
Thanks in advance.
