[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [qb]TNG is debatable. DS9 and VOY definitely underscored conformal shields as the primary defensive system, while the bubbles get more and more subtly confirmed as navigational shields.[/qb][/QUOTE]You are right about ST II and VI. I take a bit of objection to "TNG is debatable" though. In 99% of cases, deflector shields were a big, blue bubble. Or green bubble, for Klingon ships. Even in [i]Generations[/i], shields bubbles were still being used. DS9 didn't start switching to conformal shields until half way through it's run, and even then they weren't always consistent. In fact, the main reason for switching seemed to be so that they could do that cool sequence of the alt-Defiant strafing the Klingon mothership in "Shattered Mirror". The station itself seemed to have both conformal and bubble shields in "Call To Arms", and don't tell me that the bubble shields were "navigational". It's a space station. It doesn't navigate anywhere. And where in DS9 and VOY do the bubble shields get confirmed as navigational shields? [/QB][/QUOTE]
