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.
