Shields:
Basic shield physics:
Like soap bubble in the air, a shield is a bubble.
A shield, like a soap bubble, will absorb energy like a soap bubnle will warp to absorb water or a little but of pressure.
Soap will be "depleted" by water, or whatever, until the bubble collapses.
If a single point, or a large part is punctured suddenly, the entire bubble will catastrophically collapse.
Pre-Anubis Goa'uld shields are very prone to this occurring.
Anything that overwhelms a large portion of the shield suddenly, or a small portion near-instantly causes the entire shield to collapse almost instantly and without visual reaction.
Goa'uld Style Shields:
-Based on a rudimentary understanding of Ancient shields, and a lot of ingenuity.
-These operate by creating a current chain along the outline you want the shield to take.
-Goa'uld style shields are low power intensive, and operate by intense charges of shield ions and other energy types along the outline.
-Like the picture of a wave of alternating current turned into Direct Current, the shield has momentary gaps.
-It operates in waves.
-This conserves power, protects the ship, but also makes them far more easily collapsed through firepower that overwhelms a large portion of the shield at once, or a single part nearly instantly.
-Goa'uld shield capacitors draw a constant feed of energy from the power systems to maintain the energy waves.
Goa’uld shield Classes:
Priority: Heavy Shields.
Examples:
-Anubis’ Supership was equipped with the largest and most powerful form of Goa’uld shielding yet known.
-Apophis’ Supership was equipped with the most powerful shielding known before Anubis’ type shields were implemented.
These shields simply are far more effective at dispersing energy do to their size and power source.
Prominent: Standard shields.
Example:
-Hat’tak shields.
Prudent: Light Shields.
Example:
-Tel’tak shields.
Very weak and vulnerable do to weak power source.
Easily converted into a weak Goa'uld Cloak.
Ancient style shields:
-A solid wall of energy.
-Ancient style shields are far more effective against any type of weapon than Goa'uld style shields.
-Far more sophisticated, and far more complex, Ancient style shields create a solid shield wall around the area designated through field placement.
-Asgard shields are based solely on their own devices and Ancient shields. –-Anubis enhanced Goa'uld shields with more advanced Ancient Style principles, drastically reducing the tendency to instantly collapse, and also just increasing its ability to disipate energy.
-Ancient shields are far more power intensive in initial start up, but are nearly self-sustaining once activated through energy looping.
-Asgard shields are far less advanced and sophisticated, and far less efficient requiring far less efficient electricity/shield energy conversion in the shield generators.
-Ancient style shields draw a far larger amount of power when activated, but draw far less to sustain the bubble.
-When stressed, energy is drawn to make up for the energy used to dissipate incoming weapons fire.
-Being far more efficient, the shield bubble is generally able to hold as long as the generator can keep up with the draining, and the power source can keep up with the generator.
-Ancient shields are far more fine-tuned and advanced than Asgard shields and can withstand a far more concentrated stream of energy than Asgard shields can.
-This is why beam weapons pierce a hole in Asgard shields, when Asgard shields have been weakened, but don't pierce through weakening Ancient shields.
-Ancient shields can still be instantly collapsed, but only when a large section of the energy bubble integrity itself is ripped apart.
-An example of such is if a Stargate’s initial unstable vortex forms into a shield bubble, the energy of the shield will be absorbed, overwhelmed, and this will collapse the shield.
-If the shield generator is undamaged, the shield will reform itself almost immediately.
-All Ancient shields can easily be converted into a cloak.
Ancient Derived Shields:
Asgard Shields:
-Asgard shields are based on thousands of years of improvements and research, both on their own, and through intense study of the Ancient Database.
-Asgard shields operate and are designed on similar base principles as Ancient Shields.
These shields are the only shields that as of yet compare to Ancient or Orii shields, and even then, only barely and only when powered by a ZPM.
-Asgard shields use a large amount of energy and require a capacitor to store energy to activate the bubble.
-They can be converted into cloaks, but they require far more energy to do so, and need far more modifications requiring energy to do so.
Anubis’ Shields:
-Anubis’ shields are basically Hat’tak shields modified with Ancient knowledge to dissipate incoming fire over a larger shield area than before.
-This drastically reduced the propensity for the shield bubble to collapse when hit by an abnormally concentrated blast of weapons fire.
-This allowed them to stand against Tolan and Asgard weaponry, which had before popped the bubble with ease.
-Before, the shield was in energy capable of standing against those weapons, but failed rapidly because of the inefficiency, and instability of the shield current stabilization bubble to conduct the shield energy waves.
-Anubis’ shield modifications themselves did not drastically increase the resilience of the shield, but rather the efficiency and stability of the bubble.
-Though, Anubis’ knowledge did allow him to also modify the shield power systems to a far more efficient energy transfer rate, which did increase the power of the shield rather largely.
Orii Shields:
-While similar to Ancient technology, Orii technology is less advanced, and less refined.
-The simple reason is this: The Orii developed differently, and when Ascended they became rusty in technology.
-When the Orii decided to build ships, they decided to try and build ships easily capable of defeating a powerful, but far inferior foe.
-They were designed to wipe out many weak foes… instead of numbers of powerful foes.
-Their weapons were easily capable of taking on anyone for the most part.
-The shields however posed problems. So they were not made to the level possible, but to the easiest and most efficiently constructed.
-This made them far inferior to Ancient shields.
-They can be pierced and collapsed by concentrated energy weapons fire to isolated areas of the energy bubble.
-Asgard beam weapons, the most advanced form of Asgard weapons, when using ZPM as a power source are more than potent enough to concentrate enough sheer energy into a single area of the shield to cause it to loose stability and collapse.
-Ancient shields are far more advanced and specifically designed to handle any possible threat, and to use the energy from the power source to the highest potential making them very difficult to pre-maturely collapse, be pierced by anything, or overwhelmed before the shield can restore lost energy from the very efficient low entropy buffer.
-Ancient beam weapons, while easily able to tear holes in shields of most races, only overly strain the shield to the point of reducing its energy transfer efficiency causing to drain a little faster.
-Orii shields, while certainly and easily the second most advanced shields ever to exist in known history, are inferior and capable of easily being pierced unto a sudden collaps
Drones:
Drones would operate through this method:
The Drones have a large capacitor capacity and focus all their energy into one point on the targeted area.
This incinerates the material in front of it and also overwhelms the part of the shield that it hits causing the shield to have virtually no effect. Much like a sowing needle through a Kevlar vest. Bullets are stopped, the needle is not.
So with higher powered wall-like shields the Drones are potentially stoppable if the shield energy density is sufficient.
This is an integrated set of theories.
