I thought it should be obvious
And if they are cloaked they would probably have methods to hide there footsteps.

You didn't say it IC (so as much as I agree that the Ghosts should probably have a form of stealth movement) Alpha is right.

Should have said they were cloaked but that is corrected now
But it it stupid to assume that if there cloaked they dont have some form of stealthed movement.

It is what it is, but I'd rather you just post your response to the situation. Even if they did make headway to the station a couple of high-yield plasma grenades would still be able to get halt them, get them from behind or detonated on/under them.

Duck, I missed the part where the Sazkarjhit were using basic ballistic grenades or rocks.

How powerful are your personal energy shields that two plasma grenades exploding and showering your Ghosts in plasma is rendered harmless?

Extremely powerful, Ghosts cost a lot and loosing one would be a blow.
Those shields cost a lot though, making Ghosts rarer, y
There's about 30 ghosts atm.

I'm seeing a lot of cases, Duck, where your units and soldiers have seemingly impenetrable shields and the abilities to withstand the force of god.

Regardless of how rare these soldiers are, there's still a godmodding/powergaming rule in effect.

Depending on what powered the shield, plasma would've usually disrupted them, since it was two consecutive blasts it also would have been intensely hot, maybe even enough to melt through the armor. On top of this, once it melted through, the armor would be venting atmosphere, and with no breathable air for the aerobic Equestrians, they'd certainly meet a grizzly demise to suffocation.

They should at least be somewhat damaged by the blast. These ain't rocks, son.

They also have two layers of shielding, a psionic and regular shield.
Im also counting on the fact that according to Equestrian standards plasma is really outdated.
But I will remove there out layer of shielding.

"Just how hot can plasma get? Well, since we know that the sun is made of plasma, it's obvious that the stuff can get pretty hot. But for decades, scientists have been puzzled as to why the outer layer of the sun's atmosphere, called the corona, was so hot -- hotter, in fact, than the surface of the sun. Data from spacecraft has shown that plumes of plasma called spicules emanate from the lower atmosphere of the sun. While we'd call most of them pretty hot at tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, those spicules are merely a bit toasty when you compare them to other spicules that register temperatures of at least 1 million to 2 million degrees Celsius (1.8 million to 3.6 million degrees Fahrenheit) [source: Matson]. While these ultra-high heat spicules aren't as common, some scientists believe they occur often enough to heat the corona. Scientists don't know why they form, however.

While the plasma on the sun is the hottest we know of in the natural world, manufactured plasma is much hotter. Several machines called tokamaks create fusion reactions in labs around the world. The ITER tokamak, a fusion machine, is currently under construction in France. ITER, an international coalition of scientists from six countries and the European Union, hopes to use the tokamak to test ideas for fusion energy production. The tokamak will use magnetic forces to heat two hydrogen isotopes to more than 150 million degrees Celsius (about 270 million degrees Fahrenheit)."

Now that's pretty damn high, and if you have two of those going off? Not only would it cause severe damage to the actual part of the station (Depending on what the heat shielding is made out of and how thick it is), and multiply that area of effect by a factor of two? Even some pretty powerful personal shields wouldn't be able to hold up that well to heat and discharge that intense.

Duck baby, you have to realize that many of your units are grotesquely overpowered and you might need to wane down that power a bit. Just for the sake of making things fair for the rest of us.

Yeah, I get that Sazkarjhia isn't the most advanced empire out there, but if being able to shrug off that much damage is a bit ludicrous, wouldn't you say?

If your shields can resist a plasma blast they are more powerful then pretty much anything in the 40k universe.

And the 40k universe is over the top land, with massive 10 foot super humans religious zealots who have a bullet proof rib cage, can spit acid, can filter out sounds, are immune to all poison etc, clad in super strong, 6 inch thick power armour that they can still move like they are wearing nothing, with a chunk of metal in one hand that fires massive slugs of metal that can kill a man in a single hit, blowing him apart (pretty much an automatic railgun) and wielding a power sword in the other hand which can cleave a man in two in a single swipe with minimal effort

And that is from arguably the least scientifically advanced faction, not counting tyranids. (Orks could also be considered less scientifically advanced, but considering their tech works because they simply think it works, not sure whether that counts as tech)

Shields resisting plasma weapons = Okay, considering plasma weaponry would likely lose heat quickly as it travels and shields are of course shields
Armour made to help protect the user against plasma weapons = Yeah, makes sense and is likely possible with some alloys
Shields resisting two massive plasma explosions right next to you = Good luck...

I was not aware of the strength of plasma, and apologies for that.

However there is still a 2nd layer of shielding, and if there a unicorn that's a 3rd, which most are.

Again: Two consecutive blasts.

If one went off and wore down one shield, then the second blast would wear down the second as it follows shortly after.

Your post implies they went off at the same time
Theres nothing stating they were concustive
