A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 360kW costing 30KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK2 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 12.5 seconds to recharge from 0 to 150 HP. All depleted shields will recharge simultaneously, dividing the suit's available power between them. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously.

The energy shield MK2 generates a stronger protective shield around the character, absorbing some damage.

The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP or armor damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the armor's damage resistance. A cheaper version of it is the energy shield.

A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 360kW costing 30KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK2 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 12.5 seconds to recharge from 0 to 150 HP. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously.

The maximum shield recharge rate is limited by the suit's energy supply. A portable fusion reactor will only sustain 2 MK2 shields under fire (or 3 MK1 shields) while portable solar panels are only good for a few recharges per day. Because of the high energy demand, it can be useful to complement shields with modular batteries, as they will maintain shield recharge under fire.

The Energy Shield Mk2 has an internal energy buffer of 180kW, which effectively adds a hidden 6HP and additional .5 seconds to recharge.
