At this point there is an error with this.
For example,
I have a shield with 1000hp and 600 recharge rate. I install MWD, and my shield decreases to 500hp. And what happens with recharge rate? Nothing. It is still 600. Consequently decreased not only the shield capacity, but also recharge speed.
I think it would be more logical if the recharge rate depended on the recharge speed, and not the other way around.

That's a good point this should be fixed. I also think that recharge rates should be displayed in % per second (e.g. 1% per second shield regen).
Additionally i think the shield recharge should be faster in general.

Wouldn't work, I think. I know cap recharge is on a curve. Time to recharge a single point of capacitor increases exponentially the closer capacitor gets to 100%. I believe shields operate on the same curve, though I could be wrong. So any flat statement of % per second would be wildly inaccurate, depending on how charged the shield was.

@Griskin Thor
So far as I can tell this is pretty much 100% accurate.
Note that your shield or cap all but stops charging when you reach 99% or so.
this is kind of realistic, but having 99.4% of your shields is almost meaningless in it's difference to 100%. For example if you have 300 shield points total... 99.4% of that is 298.2 those 2 extra shield points arn't likely to tip the scale in your favor...
BUT as Griskin Thor said, have you ever noticed that as you reach zero percent of either, the rate it recharges goes up a lot?
I could have say.. 25% shield points left, and in a matter of seconds I might have 50%, maybe double the amount of time later I might have 65-75% sheilds and so on.
Try warping long range. you can regenerate 50% or more of your cap on a long warp trip. By the time you finish the trip you should be nearly full again, but that first 50% goes by in a matter of seconds.
