I don't care for the idea of "improved shields" against everything as 
you described, but I do like the idea of a "kinetic" style shield 
that protects against the stuff that "beam-style" shields don't. 
Maybe not everything, but definitely K-guns, submunitions, etc.

That way "old" shields are not rendered instantly obsolete by the new 
system, which I think would be a little over the top.
