how do shields work?

I couldn't find the thread that was discussing this (as applied to other things).
how do shields work?
Do you hear, that whisper, calling unto you
O'childe of the shore
As have your brethern before you
beckoning, to sail to those distant lands
Come
embrace me, your mistress
Upon the coldest sea

Plasma suspended by magnetic fields in a sphere around your ship... maybe?
If you're different from us, we'll f**k you up.

Try looking ~6-7 threads down in this forum - the one titled "Shielding".

or, for a very bried overview, the entry for Shields in the Wiki
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... gy:Shields

It shouldn't be too hard to find these.

I guess I've gotten so used to going to the wiki and finding nothing in the various areas that I've looked at, that I sort of forgot about it.. sorry about that..
