Energy striking a black globe screen is diverted to the ship's capacitors. Each ton of capacitors will hold a large quantity of deflected energy from enemy fire. When the screen is flickering, a percentage of the incoming energy equal to the flicker rate is absorbed. The amount of energy a weapon transfers depends on its type and factor. {{Page cite|name= High Guard |page= 42 |version= Classic Traveller}} | Energy striking a black globe screen is diverted to the ship's capacitors.

'''Invisibility:''' Since a black globe field absorbs all energy, a [[ship]] with its field completely activated is, at any range over a few kilometers, effectively invisible. In battle this will have no effect, since a [[ship]] that suddenly disappears from enemy [[sensor]]s in this way will have its course predicted on the basis of its last known position; since the ship cannot maneuver while in the field, the prediction will always be correct. | '''Invisibility:''' Since a black globe field absorbs all energy, a [[ship]] with its field completely activated is, at any range over a few kilometers, effectively invisible.
