Stop trying to prove that a ship can deflect space debris we're past that already. The point is, it isn't consistent. As I've said earlier, Mass Effect Shields are just plot devices: they are what the plot needs them to be at any moment and nothing more, which is my problem.
So...what I'm gathering from this is that, despite being supported by both in-game examples and the lore (i.e. Codex), the shields are acting inconsistently?
At least use an example where the shielding isn't acting consistently, like on Haestrom. The shields drained there, when they shouldn't have. This is obviously a game play mechanic, but the point still stands
See, I can point out and admit to where ME2 has inconsistencies. You seem unable to accept that you, in this instance, are just plain wrong.
I'm not even sure that Haestrom counts... if the radiation is particle radiation, then it could interact with the kinetic barriers and cause them to "drain".
The thing is the sun on Haestrom was frying all tech it had direct sun light on reguardless of protection. The shield going down was not indecating interactiontion shield. It was indecation of the interaction to the tech in general. The generator of the shield were just stop working, not the shield were getting warn down.
The shields go down over time in the same manner as if being struck by enemy fire.
Other equipment does not appear to shut down immediately, and indeed seems to function normally, including the weapons, which also use mass effect fields and complicated computerized systems. The shuttle is able to fly in and land, without its barrier and mass effect generator(s) failing. One possible explanation is that its barrier is strong enough to resist the particle radiation, while personal units are not.
Another hint that barriers are able to resist particle radiation is the fact that ships are able to travel long times and distances in space without several meters of physical shielding against cosmic "rays".
You never realize that teck can be armor to protect agenst rediation over time. The ship landed in a shadow and quick got out before leaving. The guns are kept out of the sun because you are getting out of the sun.
Also, armor and metal is what protect things from radiation, like lead.
As I stated before. What your seeing with the shield is just the shield generator getting fried.
Your weapons are exposed for as long as your shields are, and suffer no degredation while exposed. Your radios, suit computers, and so on, are exposed for as long as your shields are, and suffer no degredation while exposed.
The only logical conclusion is that the shields are being affected in a way that the weapons, suit computers, radios, etc, are not. That leaves us
As for the shuttle, it has to be exposed for the entire trip down, and the entire trip back up to the Normandy. In fact, the Normandy itself is exposed if it's not in the shadow of Haestrom.
A few millimeters of metal won't protect against what the magnetosphere and atmosphere won't protect against, by the way.
That the thing.
Theirs a thing known as
Electromagnetic shielding. http://en.wikipedia....netic_shielding
Electromagnetic shielding is the process of reducing the
electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of
conductive and/or magnetic materials. Shielding is typically applied (1) to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from the 'outside world' and (2) to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. Electromagnetic shielding that blocks
radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as
RF shielding

Thiers also Radiation protection...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_shielding...
Radiation protection, sometimes known as
radiological protection, is the science[
citation needed] of protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of
ionizing radiation, which includes both
particle radiation and high energy
electromagnetic radiation.
Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine, but presents a significant health hazard. It causes microscopic damage to living tissue, resulting in skin burns and
radiation sickness at high exposures and statistically elevated risks of
cancer,
tumors and
genetic damage at low exposures.
Added on....Shielding design...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_shielding#Shielding_design
Shielding reduces the intensity of radiation exponentially depending on the thickness.
This means when added thicknesses are used, the shielding multiplies. For example, a practical shield in a
fallout shelter is ten halving-thicknesses of packed dirt, which is 90 cm (3 ft) of dirt. This reduces gamma rays to 1/1,024 of their original intensity (1/2 multiplied by itself ten times). Halving thicknesses of some materials, that reduce gamma ray intensity by 50% (1/2) include
[2]:
That how radiation is blocked in general. Layers of metal can stop and reduce levels of radiation. The shuttle can have heavy amount metel protection to give it time to get to the planet and back and it still landed in a shade to drop you.
Your guns arn't out long enough to get really damaged, like how your shield generator can recover when you are in the shade. The time it would take for your weapons tobe fully damage, ou would be long dead. Let alone every comment on the mission explains the sun is frying equipment.
Metal can reduce the amount of effect of radiation like lead and iron can stop radiation. The thing is on that mission, the radiation was so much that all of it could not be fully stopped, just reduced. In the end any equipment will get fried it it stay long enough in the sun.
What your see is the sheild generator failing. Not the shield being degraded.
