I understand what ENG and WEP do. But what does converting power to your SYS "system" do? Help shields charge faster? ?? maybe?
It also strengthens shields, the more pips the tougher they are.
Is that a fact? I have played since early PB and had literally no idea. I simply assumed that more pips = less recharge time, and nothing else. Then again, now that I think about it, I do know that more pips in ENG means I can boost further. And more pips in WEP means that I can shoot longer. I did not realize that more pips in shields meant that they lasted longer, however.
Yes, more pips in SYS will strengthen your shields. Also what hasn't been mentioned yet is it will charge your frameshift drive quicker, great for making escapes.
