Jovian Minning Corporation,is a fictional corporation,that originally was contracted to mine the asteroids and moons about the giant planet known as Jupiter.

The   Jovian  Mining Corporation  Ship or   JMC   was the section of the  Space Corps  that licensed ships, like  Calistor Nova One  ,   to conduct mining operations in deep space. <span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> asteroid mining! Using special mining equipment, pilots can gather resources from dozens of asteroids scattered throughout space, selling their gatherings to merchant outposts or player crafters. Crafters can then use the materials to make special space equipment, including the "heavy" light-mass  ships  and more mining equipment. <span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">The eponymous spaceship JMC Calistro Nova One   is an enormous mining vessel owned by the Jupiter Mining Corporation and commanded by CaptainFrank Hollister. It is 6 miles (10 km) long, 4 miles (6.5 km) tall, and 3 miles (5 km) wide.[1] The jagged shape and dull red colour of the vessel has led to the vessel being described as a "gigantic red trash can".[2] All of JMC Calistro Nova One  's systems are controlled by the computerHolly.

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">A small asteroid is embedded in JMC Calistro Nova One  's underbelly. Upon the reconstruction of JMC Calistro Nova One   in Series VIII, there were two asteroids. The asteroids are being mined,[3] rather than accidental strikes resulting in fusion with the ship's structure. The alien spaceship is revealed to be a war vessel. <span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">[11]<span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">  <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">As a result of this, humanity realizes that there is a potential threat beyond Earth and some believe an international government should be established to unite the world against any hostile aliens. <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">The "scoop" on the front of the ship sucks hydrogen from the currents in space and converts it into fuel like a Bussard ramjet and can, theoretically, keep going forever. It has so far been travelling for roughly 3,000,000 years. The ship has enough food and drink to last 30,000 years,

If your ship has the space, you should also equip a  tractor beam , which will greatly increase your mining efficiency. Every starship has a hardpoint for a single cargo hold, but mining lasers and tractor beams must be installed in weapon hardpoints. You will likely find the best mining ships are those with the most weapon slots, which will allow the greatest number of mining lasers and tractor beams.

However, Shipwrights can craft far superior equipment than what the CEC can spare, so established pilots should seek one out for higher mining efficiency <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:13.2pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;"> Mining Process  '<span lang="EN" style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">{C} ' <span lang="EN" style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Edit '''<span lang="EN" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;"> ''' <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:13.2pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">Mining can be broken into seven phases:

You have two choices at this point: destroy the small chunks, or use your tractor beam to pull the chunks to your ship. Either choice will place asteroid resources into your cargo hold, but using your tractor beam will grant a far greater number.

Fire the beam at a small chunk and watch as the chunk is pulled towards your ship. It will be placed in your cargo hold as soon as it touches your ship.

This allows you to permanently toggle on or off your tractor beam, which allows for much easier collection of small chunks. Combined with the /follow command, a toggled on tractor beam can make mining go a LOT faster and cut down on travel times.

However, it is made clear that Rimmer was not really to blame, as his own arrogance and self-loathing caused him to believe he was responsible. His exact role in the accident differs from media to media, with him playing no part in the books.

Due to the lethal amount of radiation in the ship, Sabastion 9000 kept Lister locked away until it was safe to free him and directed the ship away from <span lang="EN" style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">  Earth   <span lang="EN" style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">as per regulation to prevent further deaths.

The bridge and wheelhouse were at the forward end, in front of the captain's and officers' quarters. The bridge stood 8 feet (2.4 m) above the deck, extending out to either side so that the ship could be controlled while docking. The wheelhouse stood directly behind and above the bridge.

The orlop decks were used as cargo spaces, while the Tank Top—the inner bottom of the ship's hull—provided the platform on which the ship's boilers, engines, turbines and electrical generators were housed. This area of the ship was occupied by the engine and boiler rooms, areas which passengers would not be permitted to see.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The Ore Mining Ship is a quest reward for completing the Jovian  Engineering Corporation quests on Jupiter. The Y-8, a multi-passenger ship with 1 Pilot controlled weapon, 4 turrets and a large cargo hold, is a CEC mining vessel which dominates mining operations throughout the galaxy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The Jupiter Ore Shuttle is designed as the ultimate in mining technology, equipped with a full array of lasers and tractor beams for mining lucrative asteroid belts. The core of CEC operations near Jupiter, the vessels are highly prized and protected.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">Ironically, the  mining ship is widely regarded as a poor choice for mining. Many players equip weapons to its turrets and use it as a Capital Ship.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">This large and maneuverable ship can be easily fitted with 5 POB weapons and Ordinance for a devastating POB experience.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">==Interior Layout==

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The Jupiter Ore Shuttle is a two deck vessel connected by an elevator.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">Deck one contains the bridge, Complete with Captain(Pilot)'s Chair and Two Operations Chairs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">The elevator terminal on Deck one leads to the topmost turret and deck two.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">Through the door next to the elevator, behind the bridge, is a rectangular space with banks of computer terminals (not usable) and a door leading to the aft room, usable as Crew/Passenger Lounge, Captain's Cabin, trophy room or a variety of other uses.

Unlike similar civilian models, these transport craft include military gear for detecting electronic emissions from other spacecraft,[3 ] and drop chutes for paratroop assaults.[10 ] In addition, the Galactica has armored, tracked ground vehicles known as "landrams"[11 ] and "snowrams."[12 ] These are armed with a single heavy laser cannon in an open turret on the roof, and are landed by shuttles. The Galactica carries a large number of manually aimed[13 ] laser batteries, both for anti-aircraft defense against fighters and for engaging other capital ships.[1 ] As to purely defensive measures, the Galactica is protected by both "electronic shields" and a heavy metal double-pocket hatch shield that covers its panoramic bridge viewport; the latter is closed in "positive shield" state and open in "negative shield" state. However, while these might provide limited protection, they are insufficient to guard against suicide ramming runs by Cylon raiders[14 ] or pulsar-cannon fire from Cylon base ships.[1 ] The Galactica also has the ability to project a broad cone of energy, wide enough to cover much of one hemisphere of an Earth-sized planet, that is powerful enough to destroy ballistic missiles and their nuclear warheads.[5 ] ===<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Energy <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">[ <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">edit <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">] <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> === <p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">A battlestar such as the Galactica has two sources of energy. Its engines are powered by Tylium, a highly volatile liquid fuel derived from minerals mined on a limited number of planets.[15 ] The Tylium is stored in two tanks located as far inboard as possible, since the detonation of either tank is sufficient to destroy the battlestar.[16 ] Other energy needs are met by energizers, which are self-contained generators roughly the size of a human adult. These are distributed in decentralized fashion across the Galactica.[17 ] Networked to each other, they are able to supply sufficient power to meet the Galactica's needs even if some of them should fail.[18 ] ===<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Facilities <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">[ <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">edit <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">] <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> === <p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">The Galactica contains a wide range of facilities that contribute to her mission.

It houses Core Command, which coordinates Viper operations and resource allocation for the Fleet;[20 ] sensor, weapons and communications controls; and the ship's helm.[21 ] The Commander and his executive officer occupy a rotating platform at the center-rear of the bridge, along with a Bridge Officer who controls the helm.[1 ] The bridge's rear is dominated by a large star chart, featuring glowing schematic representations of celestial bodies and their orbits on a clear substrate. The chart has the ability to display a red dot highlighting any given point, which a briefing officer can move simply by pointing his finger.[22 ] A battlestar's bridge is unlike those of other starships in science fiction in that it has no one "command chair" where its Commander would sit.

These are in a walled-off area, accessible from the main deck through garage-type doors opening onto each tube, which normally are kept closed.[23 ] The landing bays can accommodate visiting small craft from non-Colonial civilizations, as well.[24 ] The large portals on the aft end of each bay are equipped with devices that keep the bay's atmosphere contained, providing a shirt-sleeve environment in the bays.[25 ] These devices appear to be designed in such a way that their operation is mandatory.[26 ] Each bay contains decontamination booths; it is standard operating procedure for pilots who have visited an unexplored world on their mission to undergo a stint in these booths immediately after exiting their cockpits.[27 ]

Each room sleeps twelve, with no personal privacy.[40 ] The sole exception depicted in the show is Commander Adama, who lives in a private suite comprising an office,[41 ] dining room,[42 ] bedroom and ready room with a star chart like the one on the bridge.[43 ] To minimize the amount of time required to scramble Vipers in an emergency, the bachelor quarters are served by open-topped trams running in dedicated tunnels, which lead to the ordinary elevators that connect multipleGalactica decks to the landing bays.[44 ] In the post-Holocaust fleet, married warriors are able to live with their families in joint quarters on ships other than the Galactica.[45 ] After a decade without contact with the Cylons, conditions relax sufficiently to permit bachelor warriors to lodge on civilian ships.[46 ]

The wedge-shaped fore section contains the CIC, among other facilities. The aft section contains both conventional (sublight) and <span style="color:black;mso-themecolor: text1">FTL propulsion systems. The midsection is where the battlestar's flight pods are mounted, with large support pylons connecting them to the rest of the ship. There are internal transit corridors large enough to move Vipers (and presumably Raptors) from one flight pod to the other.[3 ] Thus large-scale flight operations are possible even if one flight pod is crippled or otherwise unusable: the battlestar Galactica is able on numerous occasions to hold off massive Cylon attacks, and even to conduct several offensive operations, with her entire starboard flight pod converted to a museum. ===<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Flight pods <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">[ <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">edit <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">] <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> === <p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Battlestars are seen to possess two or four flight pods, depending on the class. Galactica-type batttlestars' flight pods retract during an <span style="color:black;mso-themecolor: text1">FTL jump, though the same is not true of the Mercury-class. The flight pods serve as landing bays for smaller spacecraft such as Vipers and Raptors. Each flight pod appears somewhat as a large, rounded triangular tube, with a flat deck running inside the length of the pod, completely open to space at the ends. This deck serves as a landing pad for Vipers, Raptors, and small civilian ships such as Colonial One. After touching down, Vipers and Raptors move to a side elevator lift and descend to an enclosed, pressurized lower hangar bay, where they are maintained. The Viper launch tubes are also located on this level. Each tube has a large, reinforced airlock at the hangar end, while the other end is open to space. Once a Viper is mounted on the airlock's launch catapult, an airtight blast door closes behind the Viper and the space door opens, clearing the Viper to launch. The Mercury-class battlestars, such as Pegasus, have "doubled" flight pods, with landing decks on both the dorsal and ventral sides. In contrast to other classes, the Mercury-class's flight pods have a second landing deck running the length of each pod that is situated "upside down" relative to the ship and its two "rightside up" landing decks. Vipers on approach to these secondary decks roll 180 degrees ("on their backs") prior to landing. It is unclear whether there are two hangar and maintenance decks per flight pod as well, or whether ships landing on the second deck must be flipped over into the gravity field of a single pressurized hangar bay.

<p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">As originally constructed, Galactica's hangars contained overhead storage bays for its Vipers. These bays were eventually removed sometime before the close of the First Cylon War. [4 ]

This may explain why Galactica always retracts them before a jump is initiated; though the heavy damage to Galactica following her final jump may instead be due to the advanced deterioration and decay of her structure and armor after more than forty years of service, four years of continual heavy combat, a desperate atmospheric reentry, and no access to an orbital shipyard. ===<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Propulsion <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">[ <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">edit <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">] <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> === <p style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:11.5pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Galactica <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">was shown to possess six sub light engine pods (though in the miniseries, only four were visibly active)[3 ] while Pegasus had eight.[5 ] Battlestars were highly maneuverable and were capable of docking with space stations, such as the Ragnar Anchorage.[3 ]

Newer battlestars were covered with smooth armor plating. The miniseries shows Galactica withstanding a direct nuclear detonation with little apparent damage to its command structure and fighter bays.[3 ] The newer Mercury class battlestarPegasus was apparently more resilient and withstood at least three nuclear hits during a Cylon ambush; not only did Pegasus remain operational, she inflicted heavy damage to a Cylon Basestar with her forward batteries.[5 ] Early in the First Cylon War, Galactica had smooth armor plating over more of its forward section and flight pods. By the end of the war, this plating had either been damaged or removed.

VII fighters were destroyed by a pair of Raiders immediately after their avionic systems were incapacitated by the Cylon computer virus.

II's which were pressed back into service. These fighters, supplemented by a small number of retrofitted Mk. VII's, gave Galactica an effective air group of roughly forty Vipers. Attrition over the following months reduced this number as the ship and her fleet of civilian craft were pursued by the Cylons.[11 ] The arrival of Pegasus with her mostly intact squadrons and Viper production facilities were a huge boost to Galactica's dwindling air group. With the destruction of the Pegasus her squadrons were subsequently transferred to Galactica, giving the latter a full complement of fighters that were largely Mk VII Vipers.[12 ]

Each CIC funnels communications and data received over multiple channels, which is then organized, evaluated, weighted and arranged to provide ordered timely information flow to the battle command staff under the control of the CIC officer and his deputies.

A single 'mark' (range and bearing <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">datum) bears little actionable decision-making information by itself. A succession of such data tells much more, including whether the contact is closing or opening in range, an idea of its speed and direction (these are calculable, even from bearings-only data, given sufficient observations and knowledge of tactics), the relation to other contacts and their ranges and behaviors.

This frees the pilot to handle only the operation of the aerospacecraft.

The TSO answers to the Flight Leader, and is generally subordinate to the Fighter Pilot operating his/her craft.

The shields use a force-field of varying frequencies to protect against physical and energy based attacks and should not be confused with the Navigational Deflector. Starfleet offensive weapon systems have varied over the years, but standard armament for starships has consistently been a combination of phaser banks and arrays (ships and stations), the modern pulse phaser cannon, and various types of [projectile] torpedoes. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.1in;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Offensive Weapon Systems <span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.05in;line-height:11.45pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Phaser Systems '''<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">The standard and most basic Starfleet weapon is the Phaser, which stands for Phased Energy Rectification. All Starfleet phasers are based around the short bursts of nadion particles and are fired at sub-light speeds (thus they cannot be fired at warp speeds). On both ship and hand phasers, the intensity of the beam is adjustable, producing a variety of effects.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Early phaser designs favored small numbers of singular emitters firing in short beams or bursts of phased energy. The Ambassador-class starship was the first class to be fitted with the ‘phaser array’, a grouping of many emitters which are able to cover a much wider arc than the typical single emitter. The phaser pulse was redesigned and modernized to the pulse phasers, which use several emitters firing at once to form the final phased energy bursts. The pulse phaser design was first implemented on the Defiant-class starships.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">The standard torpedo systems were designed as a high-explosive, projectile based alternative to the directed-energy phasers. They are a versatile and powerful weapon, and usually can be modified to almost any situation, even non-combat operations (probes). They are fired after a target is acquired via an automatically-loading torpedo launching system. Torpedoes are the only weapon that can be fired while at warp speeds.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Standard issue modern Starfleet torpedoes have a 1.5 kg charge of matter and anti-matter which combine on impact for an output of 25 isotons (the equivalent of a 64.41 mega-ton blast at 100% efficiency). More modern but less standard Mark 6 torpedoes can have a yield of up to 200 isotons. Torpedoes are versatile in that they can be fired in patterns which allow multiple systems to be hit at once, or for several simultaneous hits on one key system.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">In recent years, the invention of the quantum torpedo has made the standard issue Starfleet torpedoes nearly obsolete. They use a zero-point energy module along with an advanced standard torpedo warhead to yield standard outputs of 50 isotons and greater. In addition, the zero-point energy incorporated in the devices decreases the effective damage dispersal of an enemies shield system, adding further efficiency and effectiveness over standard photon torpedoes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Once manufacturing difficulties and the streamlining of the creation process for quantum torpedoes are improved, it is intended for them to become Starfleet’s standard issue projectile weapon on all starships. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.1in;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Defensive Weapon Systems <span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.05in;line-height:11.45pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Deflector Shields '''<span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"> '''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Starship shields are created either via a ‘deflector dish’ as in the navigational deflector or through a network of shielding emitters laid out over the primary and secondary hull. Older shield configurations created a deflector field several meters off the ships hull, while most modern starships shields are projected in an elliptical form around the ship’s hull. In emergency situations, shield’s shapes can be altered to extend around nearby ships at the cost of shield strength and effectiveness.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Shields effectively block most incoming matter and energy emissions using a highly concentrated graviton field. This field is emitted at a certain frequency and any energy or matter not matched to it is effectively blocked while draining energy from the shield proportionate to the force of the energy/matter attack. Matter and energy matching a shield’s frequency effectively and effortlessly passes through said shield – this is how a starship/starbase is able to fire out through its own shields.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">Shielding systems are also subject to several design weaknesses. As the entire hull of a ship is typically shielded, the grids in the exhaust path of the impulse engines are intentionally weaker than the rest of the shields to allow the gases to escape into space. Shields must also be momentarily lowered if a shuttlecraft or other smaller ship wishes to dock with said ship or station. Lastly, the weapon systems of certain races, specifically the Borg, are quick to detect and adapt to shield frequencies. Therefore, employing a rotating frequency modulation strategy against such weapons is standard procedure.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:4.8pt0in6pt;line-height:18pt;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;">There are also several experimental shield concepts in development, most of which are barrowed from other species’ designs. These include regenerative shielding, metaphasic shielding, temporal shielding, and unimatrix shielding just to name a few.
