[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]And regenerative shields is what Kirk already had - give them a minute's rest and they are good as new. I think Starfleet is being had, big time. [/qb][/QUOTE]I think you're confusing two different functions. The regenerative qualities of Kirk's shields was simply a rest. When a shield system is hit it causes the generator to heat up as it exerts effort to defend the ship. Coolant systems take care of this to a point, but as the coolant system loses effectiveness so does the shields-- thus as the shield loses effectiveness it goes down in percentage. If you let the system cool off, it will "regenerate" but it isn't the defination of the term Regenerative Shields. Regenerative Shields have the ability to take a piece of the incoming fire and use it against future attacks. Think of it as an imperfect borg shield. As the shield is attacked it takes a part of the power of the incoming fire and uses it to reinforce the shields. So hitting the shields helps to regenerate them, although it's probably a one step forward two steps back thing. Don't ask for proof, I don't have it, I just see it that way... [/QB][/QUOTE]
