General

Ryan's demonstration of shield recharge rates

• Once activated (by flipping the switch on the console), the shield emitters will take 10 seconds to raise the shields
• Shields regenerate to 100% strength 75 seconds after the last time they were hit
• If shields are deactivated after being raised, they will take 75 seconds to recharge
• If shields are drained to 0%, they will take 75 seconds to recharge; additional hits at 0% will not reset the recharge time
• Damage to shield emitters can extend the recharge time
• On the Galaxy class NCC-1701-D, turning raised shields at 100% on/off cycles them in 10 seconds; turning damaged shields on/off will cycle them in about 60 seconds
• Raising shields increases the Aegis's detection range by 10km
