Sure do. We tend to use an adaption available on the net (can't remember
where off hand) that makes ships with armour slower than they might be
normally.

For ships that combine armour and force fields we usually say that the
max
level of protection that can be had is three levels. Of course, as
armour
protects against some things that force fields don't, some people have
it
mixed, some people combine four or more levels; but the maximum
protection
you can get is three levels.

(all this is unofficial, of course)

Hope that helps.
