Line 130:
** An important point of difference from TV shows such as ''[[Star Trek]]'' is that Lensman universe ships usually have ''at least'' two layers of shields, PLUS a further layer more or less integral with the outer skin of the ship ("wall-shield"), which is tougher than the others. There is also a separate meteorite screen, which is basically a globular tractor beam with polarity reversed, but its usefulness against deliberate attack is essentially zero.
* ''[[Necroscope]]'': never being ones to think small, Russia attempts to blanket the entire (then) [[Soviet Superscience|Soviet Union]] with one of these. Sadly all it does is [[Phlebotinum Overload|create an inter-dimensional superhighway]] to the source world of Vampirism. [[Epic Fail|Oops]]!
*
* In [[Robert Westall]]'s ''[[Urn Burial]]'', both alien races encountered have deflector shields of differing levels of advancement. One race's are of the barely-visible kind and the others create a mirror effect.
* In ''[[The Chronicles of Professor Jack Baling]]'', a personal one is used at the end of the first episode to defend against Jack’s death ray. It’s “about the size of a fold-up highway map and the color of Windex.”
