the sheild dome would kill multiple bs its nuts

oh i see isee... alright man thx... but i tot it would be quite like wat u see in movies... that when a shield explodes things will get destroyed. lol oh well

normally the shield generator explodes not the shield

There is a random element to combat. Many times I have done more damage in the 2nd round after losing some ships than in the first. I don't know if that will always be the weakness of the massive investment into the DS or if that is just a glitch that will either stop that from happening or more likely, make it happen less often.
