“I know you were talking about this being set up to handle polaron dispersion," Lt. Black said, "but how sure are you it can handle atmospheric dissipation at the same time?”
"Theoretically they will work, but modifications like this have never been tested in such a manner, not even during the Dominion War. At the very least they will require 27% additional power in order to maintain. I can decrease that by keeping the shields at maximum between us and the Cardassian vessel and reducing power in other parts of the grid."
The Yeager will have next to no maneuverability while it is shielding the Lord Franklin. If the Cardassians open fire our only choice will be to endure it. However, the Cardassians are unlikely to enter the atmosphere, which will make their firing arcs much more predictable. And Cardassian tactics generally rely on brute force and not maneuver.
T'Lari considered for a moment. How confident was she that she could keep the shields up and focused during atmospheric maneuvers? She found herself mildly surprised that the answer was 'very confident.' As with the battle with the Cardassians and the Philadelphia, the half-Vulcan thrived during periods of stress. She looked at the Tactical chief, meeting her gaze.
"I will make it work, Lieutenant."
