Re: [Spaceships] Magnetic Shielding above TL8
Magnetic shielding doesn't fit very well with the radiation shielding model used in GURPS (it doesn't stop a fraction of particles -- it stops all particles up to a certain energy and none above that, with a fairly small range of energies that are iffy), has a bit odd scaling (energy requirements vary with radius, not area), and requires hazardous field strengths unless very large, so it's probably left out for a reason.
