It is not the Borg Torps that kill my shields it is their freakin' Super Tachyon Beams. RSP is one of the few skills out there that can replenish massive Capacities that you get on Covariants and even the MACO shield. EPtS is insufficient and TSS is alright but in a really vicious battle it is not enough.
What good would increasing the Kinetic resist to shields be? Even if I spare my hull even more damage my shields already laugh off Kinetic damage and the hull sparing will not be enough to make up for not having any shields. You use RSP to replenish your shields not harden them.
I use RSP quite a bit myself and it may need a little tweaking, although I think it's just fine as is, but what we certainly don't need is something sucking up one the few console slots we have just for that power.
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
No to the RSP removal; I use it on all my (cruiser) chars. Play a bit around with it with a Tankship in Elite STFs or similar & I'm sure you will learn to like RSP to.
But the skill you describe sounds like a fun addition.
I am glad you could clarify to the OP how useful this skill can be.
When for whatever reasons your shields are dropping like hot potatoes,
this is one of my favourite "panik!!" abilities. (Preferrably combined with scattering field.)
The shared cooldowns could use an overhaul though.
.o0( The gods of deutsch data recovery have prevailed! The techno will continue.)
i think just because your un happy and dont use it dont mean that we as other players dont use it i use it daily matter of fact everytime i am in a space battle i use RSP
It's also particularly fun to use just as an escort begins to use his alpha strike.
^This... Combine it with FBP and some juicy attack patterns and some Escorts will gladly annihilate themselves while you are unscathed.

In my case yes & no.
