Shield bank suggestion

Anyone who uses them will surely agree how ridiculous they are. With basic power management skill they are basically god mode of Elite. I propose a simple idea how to make them less ridiculous yet still usable.

Shied bank
- instantly fully regenerates the current damaged shield ring (not entire shields) with 5-10s cooldown

This would also promote some skillful plays because one would have to learn when to actually use it for maximum potential (right before the shield ring collapses).
 
Same goes to missiles, give them 10s refire delay, and all that hurts shields. jam weapon targeting etc, its all strategy of random event that happens.

All are not fighters some haul goods and get interdictated, need time to run away.
 
Kind of agree that shield banks may be a little overpowered.
I see them like health pots in other games, they may need to have restrictions/blancing but I haven't used them enough to suggest how or by how much.
.
Missiles though are fine, fit chaff or even use heat sinks.
If they are not effective then it is those counter-measures that need the tweak/fix
Nerfing missiles adds nothing to gameplay and would pretty much remove the need for the anti missile modules
