I assumed everyone's shields were that strong, and that use of shields would make nukes irrelevant in favor of otber weapons more capable of taking down shields.

If this is not the case apologies to all and I can change as needed.

And to abe, currently trapped on phone so I cwn not write out the response needed to adress it.

The shields on a ship use a series of runes and gems embedded into a magical projector of sorts. Magic is then supplied via a manafusion reactor or other means of magical storage. And yeah, each Iscandarian has a mana pool that slowly refills overtime.

As for giving it to other species, its a area the Iscandarians are exploring. When it was gifted to them by Faust she linked it to the souls or spirits of the Iscandarians. The Iscandarians were planning on mentioning this to the Nouvelle queen in private and saying that if the could prove they were trustworthy then they would be the first non-Iscandarians to have it.

The Ethereals were using magic actually. And why would a normal EMP from a nation that has never encountered magic affect magic?

EMP? would fry shields or render the electronics that govern them useless by burning them out. For a scout ship that is a crazy amount of sheilding? So what are your line ships shielding like?

The scout ships are the ones with the least amount of shielding, others have a lot more. And EMPs wouldn't as the shields are powered by magic so yeaaaaaaaaaaah.

No, I changed that. Didn't want to scare you THAT badly. After all, this is just the first step, not the 86th.

Another question...How many ships?

From Stardust, To Stardust

The nuke have to be the size and yield of a Tsar Bomba to do anything to those shields. In my opinion at least nukes become pretty outdated when you have shields.

From Stardust, To Stardust

Draconians dont seem the inter-galatic empire of doom they were capable of besting the entire galaxy with a small amount of outdated ships.

So how would the shields work if there was an explosion directly against the hull? For example im going to tell you my next move, I plan to place charges along your hull using my SF troops.

The shield would block you from touching the hull in the first place. The shield is about 1-2cm away from the hull itself, the shield would prevent you from touching the hull without taking out the shield first. Oh and the shields of the Iscandarians are pretty bendable I guess you could say, they can shift to different shapes or certain parts can be removed to allow access.

Oh well that's good, all you have to do is fire at different spots all around it. Swarmer missiles would be ideal; by spreading their targeting system so all across the shields, on every side, then the shields would have a spazz and die out from trying to send energy to every possible point, and finding that there is none left from the entire network screaming for the same thing, leaving the ship vulnerable.

Your under-estimating the processing power of a EU Computer. The network knows how much energy it has at all times, if its getting attacked on all sides it will just distribute it evenly across the entire shield.

Hey Duck,Look up.

Not going to bother, Keyguy is just going to shutdown any arguments I have to it anyways.
