There are a few misconceptions on how tactical shields work, ie what is their real bonus and how do they stack. A very common one is that people seem to think that stacking multiple shield hardeners of the same type will give diminishing returns.
With multispectral hardeners, and some other combinations, this is not true.
I'll give you some numbers and you will hopefully figure the maths yourself.
The effective bonus of a multispectral shield hardener is +66.7% shields, +66.7% shield recharge and +66.7% effect to shield boosters and shield transferers (going TO the multispectral ship).
This bonus stacks as most other percentages in game; 1.667^n where n is the number of multispectrals.
And now why I allways insisted the Scorpion is the best Battleship out there.
With lvl 5 shield management, lvl 5 caldari battleship, 8 multispectrals and 4 Power Diagnostics, your Scorpion will have 462'522 shields (for a limited amount of time of course).

Since when do shield hardeners give a shield HP bonus, recharge rate bonus, and shield transfer bonus? They affect resistances and have diminishing returns.
The calculation is as follows:
new_resist% = current_resist% + ((1 - current_resist%) * resist_bonus%)
This gets recalculated for each additional module. E.g., for 0% base EM resistance and a 40% bonus:
0 mod = 0%
1 mod = 40%
2 mod = 64%
3 mod = 78.4%
4 mod = 87.04%
5 mod = 92.224%
6 mod = 95.3344%
7 mod = 97.20064%
8 mod = 98.320384%

Darkrift:
You are partially right, but mostly wrong. Reread my post and you'll find that you missed an essential word.

In case you couldn't find it, DarkRift, it's 'effective'. Also, seeing the uproar being caused by those damned modules I eagerly await CCP's knee-jerk nerfing ;)

I don't think they will or need to nerf it... there is a skill called shield piercing and some modules for shield disrupture... (as you must know)
I so I think once everybody starts using these... the new skill and modules will start showing up...
