That's in Space Empires three, and that technique expoited the method that the program used to lower your shields and kill your parties.

Anyway i still consider shield regens to be of use. Especially if you come on an enemy with these by a surprise.

You're going to surprise them by having significantly less defensive value of each ship?

Why don't we do a PBW test? where one guy builds all sheild regen designs and the other builds non-regen designs and see who wins? FUll tech start of course, kinda building on my Fleet Wars idea.

You can do that. I'd participate, but I am not joining any new PBW games for a while.

You can try that guys. im outa it though, only have 1.49 on my hands.

Also i thought i'd answer the original question:
The use of shield regens when decreased to 20kT size is significantly increased as now you can put two of these instead of one shield regen. two of these and two shields can be powerful, IMO. You never know though.
