What does the sheild 'recovery' stat do?

[ToyotaSupra]

The wiki (that really really needs work doing on, by the way. Yes I am doing some pages) isn't very clear. We have the actual health points for the system, the amount it recovers per second, and when you click on a block how much power is consumed per second of recovery. Simple right? So what *Exactly* does 'recovery' do? Is it important? My ship's recovery is apparently '5.0' is this a good thing?

That number is the delay in seconds while the shields don\'t regenerate after a hit.



So if it says 4.0, means your shields will not regenerate in 4 seconds after being hit, and if you are constantly getting hit, well, forget about the regen, it\'s anyway so small that it doesn\'t feel like regenerating even when not being shot on.
