Do shields have seperate capacitors than the (whatever stores the energy on the ber)?

Yes, but shields recharge using some energy, and can regenrate really quickly with defence mode which uses a lot of energy.

Hm. Im going to try to answer this.
There is only one source of energy to draw from, and thats from the energy bar that you see on screen.
Your shields draw from this same source, and its used to power them. They automatically draw energy when they are on, draw more when they have sustained damage (meaning shields are recharging their HP), and even more on top of that when in Defense Mode.

All gadgets have their own energy banks which, when emptied on use, draw energy off of the ships main energy bank.

They increases ur energy regeneration.

I wish I was designing the ships... I could build them a whole line of switch-mode regulators for those shields- make them a whole lot more efficient... Use them to replace the rooms full of C-size batteries and decoupling capacitors...

Screw those.
I'll fill entire engineering rooms full of hamsters running their wheels to generate the 1.21 "Jigga"watts needed to send your dread to 8.8 gu/s....

Bah, its pointless till we find a new flux capacitor tho

Well, once I'm done with the speakers for my bicycle, I'll get all my 10,000uF capacitors together and work on that three-phase flux capacitor! I'll refit my dread with huge subwoofers instead of ions and go blastin' the 'luth 'hood.
