Rechargeable Shields
I've heard it suggested many times before, so I thought I'd make an official post.
I've always preferred the concept of a shielding unit that recharges over time (like in halo) because with all the tech Star Wars supplies it seems that a shield with a long lasting battery would be something simple.
My idea is say x seconds after combat stops (combat meaning the last time you were hit) your shield begins to recharge with every step your character takes (much like how an alternator in a car works, recharging the battery with the spin of the wheels). I don't mean anything fast like WOOOSH and all of a sudden you're back at 100% shields, but slowly regenerating with steps taken or even over a certain amount of time like stamina.
I'm sure there are other variations of this that I haven't thought of, so please post them if you think of them.

Yeah, I have to agree with this as well. Make it regenerate like the health itself does. As far as I know, your health doesn't recharge just instantly and fast, it goes pretty slow (at least for me) and I think it doing that with the shields would be a wonderful idea.
I support this!

I'm gonna shout "REALISM" on this one. Energy smacking into an energy shield will deplete it.
And either the recharge time will be too fast, and those with shields will fight FOREVER, or it will be too slow and be utterly pointless.
It will drastically change the way we do combat in JKA. I wholeheartedly say no to this one.
