    Isn’t the enterprise entirely held by those energy fields?

    It gets new holes all the time anyway.

      Pretty much. A real structure would squish like a partially deflated balloon under the kinds of accelerations we see on Star Trek.

      Yes and no I would guess. Yes at a lower energy level like stasis / inertia / structure integrity buffers, plus the really super duper ones can deploy at a moment’s notice in case of an emergency, though it would be more efficient to not have those particular ones on 100% of the time.
