*points to 10k shield damage on paralyzer* *redoes some math*
Hm, i think i'll stick with my original post....

BUT, who knows mate, i won't know for sure how well it'll work till i can actually dammage a GB's shield ingame with a missle:D

Until then,

Cheers

Right, the paralyzer does 10k shield damage, and the gunboat regens 2k/second. So if it takes a second from the time the shield comes up to the time your missile hits, the gunboat shield only needs to come up with 8k in order to fully absorb that paralyzer missile a second later.

Actually, come to think of it, don't shields come back up with whatever they would've regenned had they been regenning while they were down? That would mean that gunboat shields would come back up with ~24k hit points, because they're offline for 12 seconds at 2k/sec regen, which would mean you'd need three missiles to get through...

Entirely related: I have a problem. It's a slight addiction to knowing the math behind everything and min/maxing everything...

No, I don't have giant complex spreadsheets that helped me choose what loadouts to go with on my fighters. I don't know what you're talking about.
