How is an enemy Linear Rifle shot really all that different from flying space debris? (aside from speed, velocity, etc) The shield should still protect from both, albeit the Linear Rifle shot will probably go through it easier.Mwulf wrote:Yeah, I doubt that the shield really functions against any weapon fire... I think it's mainly meant to protect the station from random debris.
I mean, the whole thing with the shields in episode 1 wasn't that the attackers were trying to breach the shield itself... it's that they were trying to breach the shield without being detected.
I thought they were trying to breach the shield itself, as we see a Hellion get destroyed just trying to pass through it. They were also probably trying to be a stealthy as possible, but I personally figured their first priority was breaching that powerful shield.
Do we have any idea what that shield even is?
