>Sorry to apaul you but the point I'm trying to make it this trek ships can already do the things that you suggest. It is still impossible for them to match the firepower of an ISD! Because even though they might be able to match the frequency they still cannot produce enough energy to block all of it. besides I wasn't talking about frequencies I was talking about energy of various types. What you still fail to realize is I'm not really disagreeing with you, but merely tring to explain that even if you can block a certain frequency of a certian type of energy, you still have to have an equal amount of energy to block the energy which requires power. This is why trek ships can block harmful EM and nuclear radiation emmited from a sun. But if you were going to try and fly through the sun they would be destroyed because even though they can block the energy (as you suggest) once come to close and the level of energy intensity rises their shields would buckle under the strain because the power requirements would become to great. This was what I was tring to get across to you. The TNG tech manual already explains what you have stated in your previous post. Unfortunatly that wouldn't be enough.

Please don't tell me that you think a Trek ship would survive a trip through a sun!

Remember "real life" physics have to be sometimes ignored. Otherwise most of what we know about Trek and Wars would be impossilbe to acheive, for them. Just as it is for us.
