How does shield capacity change?

    Been wondering this for a while. I thought shields give 100 shield cap per block, but when I fill a blueprint, the math doesn't really make up. If I were to multiply the shield capacitators required for a blueprint by 100, i would usually get a little bit more shield capacity than the ship actually has. Is there some sort of logarithmic curve on shielding? Curious to how it works.

    Can confirm that the values on the wiki are current, just checked the current BlockBehaviorConfig and the numbers all match.

    Shields are on a curve iirc, it's really really slow though.
