I played a game the other day and we came across a situation that I had

question - what does the shield look like and can it be targetted?  I
always considered the shield to be like the deflector shields on Star
Trek, that are visible when shot at.  However, my opponentconsidered
them to be visible, like, and I shudder to say this, the Gungan Shields
from Star Wars - The Phantom Menace.

So what do you all think?  What do the shields look like, and can they
be targetted?  Thanks.

I've always considered them to be like the Star Trek shields in appearance, but there is no hard or fast rule for what they look like AFAIK.  It really doesn't matter what they look like.  Go with whatever floats your boat.

As to targeting them, no.  The game mechanics do not deal with them being targeted as they have no stats.  They cannot be collapsed by conventional weapons (IIRC they cease working when in contact with a Vortex or another Dragsta Shield but will reactivate when they are no longer in contact with it).  They are always on and are indestructible as long as the generating Dragsta is alive.
