For simplicity, I've just been using armor (and screens) to simulate ST
shields, and allowing DC parties to repair damaged armor to simulate
bringing shields back online.  Its been working out very well, and since
the
rule applies to all ships, hasn't been unbalancing so far.  Now, this
wont
work if combining Trek with another genre, since the Trek ships will be
getting something for nothing (regenerating armor), bit it does seem to
work
very well inside the genre.
