Sheild Regen V?

Suicide Junkie worked it out- if you can expect your ship to survive for 7 combat turns or longer, adding shield regenerators is better than adding more shields. (just use IVs!)

Then again, if you're surviving being shot at for THAT long, you're probably going to win anyway..

Exactly. If they regenerated, say, half as many shields as a shield generator made (per kiloton), then they would be useful.

So the consensus is don't use them unless you're looking at small scale battles. And, if you do use them, use IV's because V's are useless (does this sound like a thing that needs fixing?)

It definitely needs fixing.

Actually, using 1 on large ships can be useful if your enemies use boarding parties a lot, because it makes it more difficult for the boarders to get on board the ship.

Version 1.52:
6. Changed - Decreased the size of the Shield Regenerator V to 20kT.

This was changed some time ago, but I haven't been paying attention to see if it took effect...

It is changed. The SR V is 20 kT.
