Combat Forcefields: Combat forcefields are forcefields that can be used for battering, smashing and so on.
Electromagnetic Psychic Dampening Forcefield: This uses the cybernetic technology of sheer electromagnetic energy to overwhelm psychic powers. Initially it only works against telepathic assaults, and then only remarkably unsophisticated ones, but over time it can block telekinetic targeting (though clearly not the strategy of hurling other objects at the forcefield).
Energy Reflective Forcefields:
Fragmenting Forcefields: Rather than the whole edifice of a forcefield being destroyed, these shatter incompletely. Even better, if controlled appropriately, the fields can make a cutting assault!
Shifting Forcefields: These forcefields focus energy to the appropriate locations when needed.
Stroboscopic Forcefields: Some cultures or universal strings have
had difficulty creating forcefields that are strong enough to withstand space travel or many atmospheres of pressure. So they make the field flash so quickly that for all intents and purposes it is solid.
Two-Way Forcefields: One may ask, "What's the benefit of a two-way forcefield?" It's like asking, "What's the benefit of a two-way curtain?" Sometimes someone wants to be safe both ways. Two-way forcefields are used for diplomacy. In addition, two-way forcefields can be more powerful at the same energy expenditure or just as powerful for less energy.
