"Now, particle shields could be different. I read the R&D, and this is the relevant part:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While widebrim angles make for weaker beam dispersal, as does small degree angle increse effectiveness of the beam, this dispersal disregards most forms of protection that dont already protect against other forms of heat radiaton, as these forms of protection (as well as fewer forms of radiation sheilding, non-ray sheilding) are already designed to prevent the effects of solar rays of a similar nature.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I take that to mean, the widebrim angle disregards shields that are not designed to withstand solar radiation, which particle shields are designed to do... or is it Ray shields that protect from solar radiation? I don't recall whether or not shields are raised when a craft gets too close to a sun."
He then mentions that one sheild may be able to.
Hence inconclusivity as to what his full ruling in fact is.
