==Coppola==
Every hit took ten percent from the Aquila's shields, which, thanks to efficient power distribution, regenerated a handful of percent between blasts. The Aquila's shields were at 78% overall when he checked the display, climbed to 80%, then dropped drastically to 60% as the ship was hit fore and aft by the now-pincering Keldons. When evaluated by shield facing rather than overall shield strength, forward shields were actually closer to 50%, aft shields 80%, with all other shield facings currently undamaged.
The microsecond delay in shield regeneration and coverage on the Keldons was exploitable, but not with kinetic weapons. The time taken to target, arm, and launch a torpedo was far longer than the delay that had been observed, and that was before the time required for the torpedo to reach its target. On the other hand, Phasers were light-speed weapons, and therefore could theoretically make the shot if the computer was appropriately programmed.
And underneath those double-layers of shields, the Keldon shared the same basic spaceframe as the older Galor-class. The hull might be reinforced slightly, but realistically, all a Battlecruiser was was a Cruiser with larger weapons. They could outmanoeuvre or outrun the Aquila with ease, and keep up with her damage output, but in terms of survivability, they were glass cannons.

Now bracketed by both Keldons, the Aquila came under punishing volley of torpedo fire. EPS overloads blew out the Master Systems Display on the Bridge, and damage and casualty reports flooded in from throughout the ship.
