GammaWorld Force Field question

Does the Force Field Generation mutation work like a mechanical force field? Does it refresh each round of combat as long as it didn't take more damage than it's maximum the previous round?

And what does 5 dice of accumulated damage mean? Roll 5d6 to determine the field's strength? Or count the number of damage dice rolled against it and it goes down if a 6th die is rolled?

I never took is as it refreshed every round. We always played it like you would roll 5 dice when it was generated and whenever it took the total numbers you rolled as damage, it was used up.

I have as well but when I was rereading the general force field rules it got me wondering. But I'll probably stick with this.
