units can traverse small areas of desert, but deep desert presents a problem. Not only from worm attacks, but from the harsh environment.

Yep, people have known about the problem with shield/laser interaction from way back in the days when computers were still being used. In the prequel book "Butlarian Jihad" we actually get to see Tio Holtzman invent the energy shields used in the book, along with the ''suspensor' and 'glowglobe'. People know that Laser-Shield reactions are more dangerous than any atomic weapon, but Lasguns are stilll used by the House militaries. It's just a metter of training the soilders in both shield (Melee+Projectile weapons) and Non-shield (Lasguns+'Conventional' weapons) fighting.Orthanc said:REJS7, good summary just one tiny, almost insignificant problem, sheilds would have to be not just a starting tech but a tech that everyone has from the very beginning (like irrigation and road building which you don't even need to research) for one reason: the device for projecting sheilds is the same as the device that they use for long-distance space travel (ie: folding space). Since they had space travel long (and I mean very long) before they ever found Dune or even spice sheilds would be almost equally as old. The sheild/las-gun relation would have to be there pretty much from the very start, but the self-destructability doesn't make them entirely obsolete. As said before it makes them useless against eachother, but they are still very powerful against projectile weapons and such. Sorry if I'm repeating myself, just making sure I get my points across so that I'm not missing anything.
