Tech Advice
hay d00dz, what's a legitimate shielding tech with a reasonable science fiction (as opposed to handwavium fantasy-in-space) explanation to allow shields to protect a ship from kinetics as well as energy weapons?

"Everywhere you prod it, even with the shortest stick, the established system isn't simply corrupt, it's unequivocally putrescent. The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable criminals, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you." (L. Neil Smith) "
La perfection est atteinte non quand il ne reste rien à ajouter, mais quand il ne reste rien à enlever.

Re: Tech Advice
Whipple shield, Electromagnetic Reactive Armor and Cold Plasma Shielding
This is what I use, coupled with some complex, usually automated damage control procedures and additional redundancy (although I have yet to define how many redundant systems an A.C.S. has)

We use electro-magnetic based shields.
