I know that there has been several shield threads but i wish to consolidate them all into one thread. Primarily this would be analyzing the BC 304 shield strength, but other ships are also welcomed. I would first like to say that we should try to keep this friendly and on topic (however much i feel that we probably would deviate). Info will be spoilered for size. I may edit this first post with additional info, and will not change things i have said so that in any future argument i can sway my self correct.

Theoretical Constants:
- Shields
- Shields operate in such a way that the energy produced by the generators goes to buffers which then "charge" shields. The charging process takes time and cannot be adequately recharged in battle.
- Shields operate better when they are more charged rather than diminished. Thus allowing the ship to take damage in the beginning of battle and losing only a few percent charge, while at the end of the battle to lose far more percent charge remaining while taking the same amount of impacts.
- Color is irrelevant for shields, as shields would be made of plasma rather than lasers. Color of shields indicates the type of atoms that make up the plasma in the shield, and color of light indicates the intensity on the electromagnetic spectrum. Shield density would determine strength and be independent of the EM spectrum.
- Hyperdrive
- Engine only creates a subspace field around the ship, brings two points of regular space together (could be close or far), and opens the the hyperspace window.
- What allows travel while in hyperspace is the same sublight engines that propel the ship in regular space.
- Weapons
- As stated in the show the energy weapons used are plasma based, once again since they are not lasers the color indicates nothing about strength.
- Apparently kinetic energy is not a serious weapon until used with overwhelming mass
