Default Re: Questionable components.

The CA trick is that it does not shield-transfer the damage done to it in the shot, but the accumalated registered damage. Explanation:
Asuume that you have 4 CAIII that can recharge 4x15=60 damage to shields. Now, imagine that in one particular instance you have shield down to 0. If in next shot you do 60 damage, you will have after that shield with streangth 60 and CA damage of 60. Now, if you shoot the ship with 55 damage weapon, you will NOT have shields 5 and damage 60. Instead, you will have magically recharged 60 shield although no actual damage has been down past the shield !

CA is one hell of creative engineering I should say.
