"http://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/Regenerating_Shields"

If the first attack does not drain the shields completely, it will regenerate 10% of what is left.

--8<--

After each round of battle, the shields of surviving ships regenerate by 10% of their original strength, as long as they have not been completely drained. Once the shields on a stack are reduced to zero, they remain at zero for the remainder of the battle.


Slightly conflicting there, but clearly when at zero they stay there.


It would cost me 23 points to go to 6 LRTs, I'd probably get back 9 of those from taking RS (this is all from the wiki) - so I'd need to get 12 points from the hab page.
I'd still only use cow hide shields for a good while, but could buy firepower with Shielded FF a couple of turns before I can buy cruisers (particularly for beam ships by the look of it - Jihads need the elec slots in the cruiser).

Basically beam cruisers seem like a poor deal - although the higher level of base armour would still be a factor against missiles...
Maybe I should be looking at stacking frigates with beams and cruisers with missiles - those of course require a base or station rather than just a dock - but I should probably be upgrading my central planets base defences anyway...

Designs and counter-designs are the order of the day clearly - and RS seems to be "recommended" for early fighting (which this race is designed for - I was looking at the tech requirements for shields and the penalty for many LRTs).
