Shields, was Re: Armor

...right. It didn't take me as long as I thought to do the probabilities

for having your shield generators left after a few treshold checks...

		    Treshold check number: 0	 1     2     3
Origingal level-1:
Level-1 				  100%	83%   56%   28%
Level-0 				   0%	17%   44%   72%

Original level-2:
Level-2 				  100%	69%   31%    8%
Level-1 				   0%	28%   54%   42% 
Level-0 				   0%	 3%   15%   50%

Original level-3:
Level-3 				  100%	58%   17%    2%
Level-2 				   0%	35%   41%   17%
Level-1 				   0%	 7%   33%   43%
Level-0 				   0%	0.5%   9%   38%

When you determine how many beam damage points the shields save you 
from, you should take this into account. The last six damage points on a

heavy cruiser with an original shield level of 3 will probably take very

much less dice to inflict than the first six!
