So how does this work anyway.

I can only think of it as the reverse of a blackhole, anything approaching the
static warp field would warp away from it, destroying an attacker if fired on
too close.

Thats my take on it anyway. Anything less would be weak.

Multiply render time by 3 if you want to light cam-side. Bummer.

So what happens if the bit sticking out through the static warp field gets 
hit?
or is that too ghastly to think about?

1.4 down to 1.36 wasnt enough


Scaled JemHadar and cut the shield diffuse slightly, and Warbird lights up.
The slightest changes to seemingly unrelated things affect glows, spectacularly
inconsistent.

PNG this time,
that you could paste to previous jpeg to restore size

Images are centered on Ori Beta-Rigel

(I think that's where I found it)

now fails and times out.


You'll need Blender to .obj and Poseray to pov import JemHadar in 5 minutes or
less. More like 2 minutes.

Took that long cause it was the first blender file I loaded.

You can't have any part sticking out through the static field without that part 
been ript apart.

War can't be supported; takes too long to render static gravity warp fields.

Big improvement on DS9 Station with command line +a0.1 +am2

Can anyone show how to get distance to an egg shape given a vector of any
direction?
(center to shield impact point)

A y-axis flattened sphere would be a simplified example, take the declination
angle and rotate point r1 then flatten y by r2/r1and get length. With a 3rd
variable-radius it becomes obvious there should be an equation for this. Any
vector (center->out), a shield matrix (its attitude), and 3 variable radii
would be the input; return distance. Needed before you can shoot (and hit)
