Shield strength analysis thread
« on: December 04, 2020, 01:30:13 pm »
Here is where you post calculations of shield strength. Use RW numbers for weapon yields.

Defiant-class shields vs disruptor beam
« Reply #1 on: December 04, 2020, 01:55:09 pm »


In the above gif, the ship getting hit (a Defiant-class warship) gets hit by the Vor'cha-class cruiser's disruptor cannon for about 0.7 seconds. [1]
     A Vor'cha-class ship's main disruptor cannon emits a 1 MW beam. [2] 
     The Defiant-class ship's shields are withstanding 700000 joules. About maybe 30% of that (210000 joules) is going to the shield generators.



[1]: The gif ends before the beam, but I'll assume that the beam and gif end at about the same time.

Voyager vs Borg Tactical cube
« Reply #2 on: December 04, 2020, 01:58:22 pm »


Here the smaller starship (USS Voyager) takes a total of about six seconds of Borg disruptor fire. Borg disruptor cannons most likely have about 1046000W of power. So the smaller ship's shields can take roughly 6276000J, spread out over several minutes.

Hood-class takes blaster fire
« Reply #3 on: December 16, 2020, 07:52:18 pm »


Here a Hood-class cruiser takes about 23 hits from Klingon disruptors set to fire plasmatic pulses. So it took at least 920g (3.84928MJ) of energy to its shields, assuming 40g per shot. In RW, no one would ever use non-blaster, non-torpedo plasmatic pulses to take down shields if they could instead use beam disruptors. That would be like using a .22 against a bear when you have a loaded hunting rifle nearby.

Galaxy-class shields
« Reply #4 on: December 22, 2020, 06:07:30 pm »


The Enterprise-D takes about 28 shots from Klingon blaster cannons.
     Let's assume that the bolts are a little more powerful then the previous model's disruptors. That's 45gTNT (grams of TNT).
     28 x 45 = 1260
     1260 gTNT is 5.27 megajoules—quite a bit.

Galaxy-class shields take plasmatic pulses
« Reply #5 on: December 25, 2020, 02:39:09 pm »


Here a Galaxy-class starship takes three shots from a D'deridex-class's disruptor, set to plasmatic pulse. Each pulse has a yield of about 40-60g of TNT. [1] That's 167360-251040J each, or a total of 502080-753120J—up to .75 megajoules.

The Constitution-class cruiser takes 5 hits from Klingon blasters. If we assume 100g per shot (418400J) we get a total of 500g (2092000J). That's 2.09MJ.

Millennium Falcon shields
« Reply #7 on: December 28, 2020, 04:21:47 pm »


If the bolt is a low-power one of 80gTNT, then the shields are withstanding 334720J (0.3347MJ).

Breen ship
« Reply #8 on: January 03, 2021, 08:27:36 pm »


It take 14 salvos [1] for the Defiant to smash through the Breen ship's shields. Each bolt has an energy of 146440 joules. [2] So the total is 2050160J (a little over 2.0MJ). So the range is about 1.4-2MJ.




[1]: Possibly only 10, as I can't be certain that the first few aren't aimed at something else.
