Do you ever use :
3. Shield RE-Generator. This one puzzles me the most. The most powerful Shield Re-Generator makes 25 shield points a turn. Instead of using one of those why not throw in a normal Shield Generator for 300 regular points or 375 phased points instead? It almost seems that in order to make these worthwhile they need to regenerate x number of points for all shield generators.
Only on the very biggest ships. Suicide Junkie worked out the numbers a while ago, if the ship survives 7 combat turns, then its better off with a shield regenerator, than one more shield generator.

I've seen my heavy carriers and planet bombarding baseships, for example, live long enough to benefit from the shield regenerator.
