    Uh, no... Visuals do not override the script.

    If this were true, then in the DS9 Dominion Wars episodes, it would mean EVERY ship besides the Defiant had no shields.

    That's not true - the FX department just couldn't give shield effects to 5k + ships!

    No cruisers crashed into Executor in Return of the Jedi. Nor is there any sign of concentrated Fleet Fire.

    Even if there was. Executor is bigger than the Entire Alliance Fleet and should have a shield capacity to match. Not only are the other ISD's a factor but to say that the Executor's shield failed or even subcombed to heavy Fire of just THREE Mon Calmari Heavy Hitters is just handing the win to Star Trek.

    (P.S Try and keep the comic books out of the discussion. It's more contradictory than even the EU and highly exaggerative.)

    Look man, if the shield wasn't mentioned on the scripts and you can't see it in the effects, that ring wasn't anything in particular, just effects. You're basing this on radical speculation. Remember that ISD bridge tower (that was destroyed)? There was a lot of that speculation to. And it obviously goes to prove that Lucas (or any of the effects directors) hadn't intended for that "halo" around the planet's surface to be anything. Hell I'll bet they'd be driven insane by this little point your trying to prove.

    Like I said before, a lot of this shit isn't meant to be speculated upon. It is what the average person thinks it is.

    Dune= 1.75 exatons or 1750 petatons or 1,750,000 teratons on the high end calculation........ half that on the low end. I posted earlier as to why (Obliterators)

    Excuse me, Q ATTEMPTED to mate with Janeway, it didn't succeed. Acually only Centerpoint is a superweapon in my opinion, anything more powerful then the Centerpoint is a superweapon too.

    Unforunatly the Empire already got destroyed ( If you want to play current events fine ) and the Renmants don't have such problem. They still can rebuild the Grand Army of the Republic, but much more powerful and they can build a droid army. Clones take orders ONLY from their own commanders, it is in their genetics. Anyways how would telephaic species control droids? There is two routes for you to play: One is Republic era with a few of the "current" technology, or Legacy Era. It is your choice.

    It is true, from visual evidence. Ships have the ability to move, and they are trying to PURSUIT the Falcon not fighing a fleet.

    The Excecutor got impacted by ships just comming out of hyperspace ( So you can't see them, because it is till faster then light speed ).

    I am not trying to gain advantage yet, I am using defence. I will try to gain advantage once I got enough research and the time is just right.

    ok, back to aldaraan shield.
    the novel says that "contrary to leis protestations, alderaan had defences as strong as any im the empire"
    which most people assume to mean shields because she said it was unarmed.
    however... in reality it basicly seals the nail in the coffin on the shield idea, because you where we DON'T see a shield?

    dun, da da, da... Coruscant in Revenge of the Sith. The Captiol of both Republic and Empire.

    (also the statement about defences would seem to imply that aldaraan actualy had weapons they wern't fessing up to, which i belive it is later stated they are suppling to the rebelion)

    Dude, you don't say 'mate', you're obviously very sheltered.
