What kind of protons? How many? Where?Anonymous wrote:Get a couple squadrons together (or even one), and fire off proton torpedoes.
This particle shield ray shield sepration thing has been taken too far, just what on earth do you think is absorbing the energy released by the torpedoes, the ray shields ofcourse.Particle shields will go down on the first or second volley. Target bridge and then individual gun turrets.
There is only one shield strenght too, and in the books there is only one shield strenght reported, they are obviously as one shield in all regards except in that particle shields handle KE and momentum and energy shields other energy, like thermal and such.
Really?Oh, and I've got a buttload of evidence behind me .
No doubt from those books based on the x-wing games, horrible stuff.
I'd rate this one higher.
Pg. 69: Not that they'd be able to do much to the Destroyer with fighter- wattage laser cannons or proton torpedoes; Destroyer shields and armor were too thick.
(ref: Shadows of the Empire)
This also shows that ordinary torpedoes aren't much of a threat, they probably need high-yield torpedoes for attacking VSD+ sized ships.
I have some preliminary calculations so far that puts high-yield torpedoes at a minimum of 2GT and a high of 30GT.
