			Energy shields do not have a passive energy consumption; they only consume equipment grid energy when required to recharge the shield.

	The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the damage reduction attributes of its armor. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously. Energy shields are largely obsoleted by the [[Energy shield MK2]], which offers a vastly increased HP buffer at the cost of demanding more energy per HP.

	A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 240kW costing 20KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK1 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 4 seconds to recharge from 0 to 50HP. The overall energy demand is extremely high and will stress the suit's [[Portable_solar_panel\|solar panels]] and [[Portable_fusion_reactor\|fusion reactor]], so use [[~~Modular_armor#Equipment~~\|batteries]] to maintain your shields under fire.
