Just remember (Help me out on this one) from what I believe Star Trek shields are the opposite of Star Wars Shields and block Kinetic not Energy attacks. 

I don't mind you having PDS lances zooming around on the hull the artillery ones. If you have 4, you can have one online in the fact that like the Mac Cannon you can have 3 shots per.... 3 minutes I think it is? RogerD I think he is referring to putting them on the same level as Trek Shields. Which is probably the level most people have going around. With Trek it wasn't always the shields that got me, or the weapons (Other than the Quantum torps) that got me it was all the convenient communicators and hand phasers that do 100 different things.
