4d = 14 average dDamage. x5 = 70. Armor divisor 5 reduces your dDR from 10 to 2. 70 - 2 = 68

The Plasma Mirror can deal with 400-600K DICE of decade damage depending on SM - something is seriously wrong somewhere with the mechanic.
The largest Plasma Mirror can defend against up to 600,000 dice of dDamage per 10 minute turn. 1,000 dice per second. Yes, that's quite a lot, but it's an enormous ship, and could be the target of rather a lot of attacks in that time - a single beam weapon gets off 30 aimed shots, after all.
