I think that you may have severely under estimated the capabilities of the Death Star. I forgot to mention another point about Deflection Towers, they are only Ray shields(same as energy shields). So they wouldn't stop matter, just energy. Particle shields (similiar to Navigational deflectors) do that. Magnetic shields and anti-concussion feild generators (similiar to SIF generators)help strengthen a ship. While inertial compensators (inertial dampers) negate G-forces. The same as on smaller starships even snub fighters only on a much more grand scale. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
