Force Fields

A Force Field is a wall or field of energy that stops matter and energy from going through it. They are used as a defence method on ships and in structures.

Overview
Almost all ships and bases are protected by a force field. This stops any incoming attacks until the field is destroyed. A force field is created using a force field generator of some sort. It is sometimes referred to as a force field matrix or a shield matrix. If the force field is attacked too much the generators will shut down. Having a stronger force field or more than one force field can fix this. There are also different levels of fields depending on its strength. Most attacks can not get through them but some attacks can. Mirror Shields are an advanced form of Force Fields.

Multiple Shields
This idea is very simple. More then one force field is generated. As soon as one goes down a different one takes over. There can be loads of fields generated but each one will need its own generator and lots of energy.

Strength Of Shield
There are generally 10 strengths of shields. 1 being the weakest and 10 being the strongest. Remember that this type of shield can not stop everything.

Other Defence Shields
There are many different types of shields to help defend something. See here for more information. Energy Shields are the same in strength but focus on absorbing the attack rather than stopping it. Mirror Shields are also like force fields except they reflect an attack insted of stopping it.
