Re: [FT] How screens work (was Re: UNSC designs)

Place a field of metalic dust around the ship and maintain it with a
magnetic field, resupply the field as it is diminished.  Lasers, charged
particles and munitions will hit, scatter or be destroyed as they impact
the
particle field.  Computer controls on the field can concentrate the
field
density along the threat axis as well as guide where reinforcing
material is
required.
