I think we either do what Owl says, only for small strike fighters, ior we just don't use shields. I mean if you want shields, then why not make an extra plate of armor shielding the inside armor. Like the armor rings that are made, technically they shield the interior weapons and equipment. Don't use energy shields when you can use something similar to a older shield, a giant piece of metal that protects you. That may be the only way you get a kind of shield, not energy ones, but metal ones
