Re: [OT] Trek shielding (was Re: Kinetic Shields)

I don't do anything.  They work very well as Photon's, and no one that
has
come over to play a Trek Game has complained, especially since in most
films, when the ship takes a hit, there's damage, even when the shields
are
up.  Its not enough of a difference to make it worth making up new
systems
for, and it gives a healthy respect for Photon Torps.
