 For the unit's barriers, it's the same. You pick the type of technology used to define facings, but then longevity has more to do with power systems and the actions of [[guide:role-players|roleplayers]] handling the unit. For the unit's barriers, it's the same.

 For example, say I have a ship with 4 [[technology:gravimetric_drive|gravimetric drives]]. Each drive is able to raise a barrier to full strength, but usually, they share the load of keeping a barrier online. That's an expression of //loadsharing// and //redundancy// - without one of these [[technology:gravimetric_drive|gravimetric drives]], you wouldn't be able to keep a barrier active so in this case, you have 3 spares. For example, say I have a ship with 4 [[technology:gravimetric_drive|gravimetric drives]].

-Another example is the [[stararmy:combined_field_system|Combined Field System]] used by the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai|Star Army of Yamatai]]. The [[stararmy:combined_field_system|Combined Field]] is exactly that, fields combined to fulfill different functions: one projects a distortion field that prematurely detonates warheads and bends harmful beams and radiation away, while another offers protection to deflect more physical projectiles from impacting the ship. If the system supporting the distortion field took damage, one protective aspect of the barrier may be lost.+Another example is the [[stararmy:combined_field_system|Combined Field System]] used by the [[stararmy:start|Star Army of Yamatai]].
