I'd have to reserve judgement until we play beta.
They were reminiscent of Halo to me, which isn't entirely a bad thing. The Halo shield recharge dynamic was very fun, for me at least.
Apparently they are offering different variants such as you mentioned, faster regen, larger shield pool etc. as seen in the GDC presentation.
Again, I'll just have to reserve judgement til I see them. Hopefully it's not a guise be used to cloud the fact that they're mimicing a health regen system similar to CoD or BF.
You can argue that regen shields and regen health are very similar, which they are. But depending on how it's implemented they can be drastically different.
Hurry up and release beta SOE
