Well, there doesn't seem to have been any activity on this one recently
- are we all in agreement then?

IIRC it was:

Effect as screen-1 vs. all beam weapons (including stingers and pulsars)
-1 to hit (ie. treat target as 6 mu further away) vs. K-guns, pulse
torpedoes, and pod launchers
-1 to number of missiles on target for smls
no effect on plasma bolts and other area effect weapons.
KV fighters do no damage on rolls of 4.

This leaves a few unresolved questions:
What is the effect vs. Submunitions Packs, Multiple Kinetic Projectile
packs, and scatterguns?
Could be either 'negate rolls of 4 for SMPs, MKPs, and scatterguns vs.
ships' or 'no effect' (in the latter case the PSB is the attacks spread
to much for the holofield to have an effect).
What is the effect vs. MT missiles (I'm sure someone posted this - but
I cannot remember what - reduced 'lock on' range maybe?).

MASS is 10% of the Hull MASS of the ship.
COST is 3x the MASS?

(Could use MASS is 5% of Hull MASS, Cost is MASS x7 or even x8 - as an
alternative).
