I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

A black hole... That can suck the Lucifer right in. Besides, infinite mass!

Black holes don't have infinite mass.  Although it probably will kill it.

I think that the energy required to penetrate the shield is magnitudes higher than what can be delivered by the GTVA's weapons (or at least Terran and Vasudan weapons in FS1). Whether the Colossus' beams could have damaged the Lucifer is a matter for speculation (I personally don't think they would inflict any substantial damage - maybe a couple of percent, but no more). I think the key to beating the shield lies in subspace technology - perhaps inducing some kind of subspace field around the Lucifer would destabilise or disrupt the shield, allowing weapons to pass through. Speculation of course, and the GTVA has no such technology, so it's not likely to happen.


The Lucifer was apparently only invulnerable to FS1 era weaponry; I remember Icefire mentioned one of the V developers saying it (probs on the VBB)

And now I divert your attentions to a huge debate over the Lucifer's Shield over at Spacebattles.
