Thats just... weird.

BTW, I noticed (even thought I had few beers) that that in those new pics the Starfury had shields.... (power sytem bars lower right corner)

Someone made a deal with the thirspace race?

Non-mesh shields provide shockwave protection, but not weapons fire protection

Yeah...so you'll be able to survive exploding capital ships again (ever blow up a bomb in FS2 with no shields?).

Basically its a 10 point shield that has virtually no effect on cannon fire but since the shockwave multipliers on shields are usually 0.1 or 0.01 they don't get through.

Kazan's excellent idea

Kazan's a Genius!

hmmm when you say non mesh does that mean you dont see it when you get hit?

and if you dont see it think of it as a structural inegrity feild

Thats exactly what it is.

If there is no shield mesh attached to an object, you can still add a shield to it table side. Give it a try. You can make a Fenris survive over twice the number of hits that it could take without shields since they dampen the impact effect.

There is no shield flare involved.

So you only add shields in to the tables....?
That's clever
