 Version 1.6
 * Make the delay to setup NPC ship after they are spawned variable, between 0s and 3s. The delay is meant to make sure that any OXP that wants to award Shield Equalizer and Capacitors equipments to NPCs at shipSpawned event handler had a chance to do so before we setup the ship.

 == Introduction ==
-This [[OXP]] adds 2 pieces of equipment that work well together but otherwise have no dependancies on each other. The equipment in this package is also compatible with the forthcoming ShieldCycler.oxp and both oxps may be in the addons folder with no conflict. This OXP authored by CommonSenseOTB feb.17, 2011.

The equipment in this package is also compatible with the forthcoming ShieldCycler.oxp and both oxps may be in the addons folder with no conflict. This OXP was authored by CommonSenseOTB on February 17, 2011.
 == Basic Overview ==
-The first piece of equipment is the Shield Equalizer. As the name suggests it equalizes the shields by transferring energy from high to low shield. This is completely AUTOMATIC and prevents pilot distraction during combat conditions. The noise emitted has the added benefit of alerting the pilot when this occurs. The second piece of equipment is the Shield Capacitor. Both forward and aft capacitors may be installed. A charging cycle is initiated when the shield is full. Waste shield energy is stored in the capacitor until the shield drops lower than the energy level of the capacitor. At this point a discharge is initiated as there is space for the energy to flow into. The charge/discharge cycle is completely AUTOMATIC and prevents pilot distraction. A loud noise similar to a high voltage short circuit can be heard when the discharge occurs. As well a countdown timer/alarm alerts the pilot to the status of capacitor charging. Both of these features keep the pilot aware of the charge/discharge cycle with no need of gauges or displays, again preventing distraction.

 This OXP has configurations that the player can change through the Station Interfaces  (F4) Config for AddOns:
 *enable/disable the OXP functionality for NPCs (default disabled)
-Setting this option to enabled will use more CPU resources to play the game, and will make the game harder, specially at the early stages when the player's ship is poorly kitted, but will even the field latter on once the player's ship has acquired the OXPs equipment.

 Version 1.4 (by Dybal)
 *don't transfer to/between shields while in Torus Drive (HardWay OXP might be keeping the shields drained), but do recharge the capacitors while in Torus.
-*make possible to enable OXP functionality for NPCs, with the user defining if it's enabled or not (has performance and game balance consequences), default being not NPC enabled..

 Version 1.3 (by CommonSenseOTB)
 *removed missionVariables as they are not really needed.
-*fixed a bug first discovered by UK Eliter which at first appeared to be the normal operation of the game but on closer inspection is a bug in this oxp. When you have critical energy and critical shields and either a damaged or no energy unit the equalizer can get into a loop which prevents recharging the shields. Now fixed!

-*installed toggles to deactivate messages and sounds allowing huds to replace messages and sounds with gauges. Player may also switch sounds and messages off by altering the variables in the script's startup function.
