Very true.

I suspect that in most fleet engagements between Hydrans and Lyrans, the ESGs will be used to absorb Hellbore fire.


How can ESG's absorb damage from a direct fire weapon?

5N2e (Booster 0, also check out the Communiques) Anti-Hellbore. Basically the Lyran can declare he is using the ESG in an anti-hellbore mode, declares hoo much power he is allocating, the hellbore will then automatically hit. For every 1 point in the ESG, reduce the hellbore by 4 damage points.

In short, Hellbores and ESG fields have an unusual interaction for unexplained reasons. It's the only time that ESG fields block a direct fire weapon. But then again, Hellbores are an unusual weapon.
