I have been wondering about the efficiency difference Between E -A. Doing a google search I could not find an exact answer, However on the wiki for shield generators it states
- Higher rating increases shield strength. Appears to be a 7.5% increase in shield strength per rating increase.[URL="http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Shield_Generator#cite_note-jdvbelle_testing-0"][1][/URL]
- D is ~7.5% stronger than E
- C is ~15% stronger than E
- B is ~22.5% stronger than E
- A is ~30% stronger than E
