  • If anyone knows electronics, one also knows what capacitors are for. "Storage of


    energy, signal shaping and filtering".
    What good is a capacitor going to do for a shield?



    In acutality, nothing.
    A capacitor if used with a very powerful weapon would be a


    different story. Once discharged, it would have to be recharged.


    That is unless some


    goofball electrorookie has been watching to much Flash Gordon.


    By the way, Im new.


    Fresh meat for the grinder for you hard core, bloodthirsty, merciless pilots.

  • In DC electronics caps work as short-term "batteries" storing energy (their "Farad"


    rating relates to the amount of Coulombs of energy they hold), and although ive never seen


    the specs for shield caps (they are "classified"), i can imagine that their role is to help


    "hold up" the energy level ("voltage") of a shield longer than it would if it were not there


    at all. So the shield stays at 100% longer before beginning to drop when under attk.
