This thread is an R+D thread for a new defence system.

This system will run on modified technology bought from other nations, and combined to make a unique system.

One bit of tech was bought from Capsule Corporation--hyperspace technology. The other component is energy shielding, bought from Intergallactic Hell.

The energy sheilding is used to create a "net", a sheet of sheilding designed to wrap around an incoming ship by having the generators move. The resulting "bubble" is then porpelled into hyperspace by nearby "catapults", devices designed to, well, do just that.

The problems being faced are as follows: We can't figure a way to get something into hyperspace without actually attaching engines to it. We can't figure out how to not propel the shield generators into hyperspace with the enemy ship.

OOC: Whoever knows where I got this idea from gets a cookie!

Do what they did in robotech... if you have a ship that can do space fold or even better hyperspace fold, leave a few smaller fighters in the area to keep the ship busy, then fold out of the area. Seconds later, fold back in on top of the enemy ship, and they get immediately displaced into hyperspace :) As long as they don't have hyperspace drives lol
