SakashiroI did notice that shields regenerate slightly faster in supercruise.
Or maybe I'm just imagining things...

Shields recharge rate in SC is not only "slightly faster". It is twice as fast as outside the supercruise.
Edit
Burstar was faster. Four times? Really?

EpisparhJust out of curiosity, do you have some actual source that claims this double or quadruple shield recharge in supercruise?
Update 2.1.03
Ships
- All shields now regenerate at double rate when in supercruise

MeowersI think quadruple rate kicks in when you dock.
In my experience, there's a one-moment rate, when you are docking ))

My shields are taking about 5 mins. to recharge in a flight, but it's about a bit more than a minute when docked.

I entered the dock in silent mode and as soon as I sat down on the pad, the shields turned on to full capacity. Although I may have misunderstood something

EpisparhShip reboot also do not recover shield if you have Guardian Shield reinforcement packages installed.
Not true.

You are right. I had old information.

I was doing some reading re: shield regen, & it said that if you use shield boosters, they slow that down; turning them off via module management (panel #4) speeds that up; you just have to go back & turn them back on.
Unfortunately, there's no in-game hotkey for doing so (just like there's no in-game hotkey for switching relative mouse on & off).
PIP management is also key (no pun intended!)

Synthya WylderShield Cell Bank is limited by ammo, do I recall correctly?
Yes, but it's best way to regen shield fast and worth a slot. For example Python in 1v1 PvP is so strong because it can have 3 size 6 SCBs with undersized prism. If nothing will be canceled you can regen roughly 6k shields back. So you can tank a lot dmg. Same goes for PvE bank tanks.
