You can't, no - changing that number has no effect sadly. The actual cooldown depends on how many Zoltan Shield layers you already have: the first pop is around 8 seconds, but if you already have 4 layers that 5th one takes closer to 20 seconds.

Yeah, shield drones are pretty crap. You need two of them to be marginally effective and the protection they provide is intermittent at best. They are just too damn slow.

The only place I can see the Shield Overcharged bearing any use at all is if you have two of them, as well as a Zoltan Shield in the first place. But even then, having defense drones instead would be infinitely more effective.
At this point I just regard them as free scrap.

Playing with the layout A of the stealth cruiser I found a really good use for shield drones, on level 2/3 cloaking the shield drone has enough time for at least 2 zoltan shield points, and if your ship has a high enough evasion and shields this will, most times, let you survive unscathed until the cloaking cooldown is over.
