Shield Cell Banks: A or B?

[Harrison]

I've been playing about with Coriolis and can't see why I'd want to buy A rated SCBs over B rated.

The most obvious differences are Weight and Ammo. The A is lighter with one less round than the B and indivually each A round provides more of a charge. I can't decide if this is enough of a difference to warrant the apparently longer staying power of the additional round the B rated SCB provides.

Is there some other stat that coriolis doesn't account for? Such as reload time (I've not used a SCB in sometime so I'm not sure if they have a reload time actually) or heat generation?

Thoughts?

I go with the B. More rounds. I don't know if that's best or not but it's working for me.

I prefer more recharges.......even if they are less of a recharge.

You will get a larger effective pool with B but if under fire with a large cap shield A will provide better regen. If you have tiny shields B is a no brainer. Bit more complicated as your cap grows though.
