Seconds while shields are charging | With 5 second delay added | |
---|---|---|
8A | 17.55 | 22.55 |
6A | 7.85 | 12.85 |
4A | 3.73 | 8.73 |

8B | 17.55 | 22.55 |
6B | 8.18 | 13.18 |
As you can see even without 5 second delay (when your ship will over heat) Class 6 and higher require quite some time to complete the charge. For Class 8 those are almost 18 seconds when your shields are vulnerable.
At the moment it's too early to draw any conclusions because devs have promised tweaks and balancing in 2.1 beta but I just wanted to test this before 2.1, have fun :)
