The $PowerOutput line does nothing - but the ships themselves have to have some DEFAULT value for shield and weapon re-charge.

What I'm asking is - are the ShieldRechargeRate and WeaponRechargeRate default values mentioned in the Wiki those values?

If I add those same values to all ships, will they act exactly as stock?

Before I start re-balancing things I need to know, since I intend to give different values to all ships (so finally the descriptions mentioning powerful reactors and such make sense)

You sure about that?

Well ships need some larger than zero values to power output to allow repairs and also to allow interaction with the ETS system. (looking at code that is) but it doesn't do anything else.

max_shield_regen_per_second = 0.02
max_weapon_regen_per_second = 0.04

so if I set

$Shield Regeneration Rate:      0.02
$Weapon Regeneration Rate:      0.04

then a ship would behave just like a stock one? I need stock values as a reference.
