The initial strength of the shields does not Last very long.
No, shields are generated when any component is hit, not just the shields.

It seems different from "leaky shields: shield absorbs 50% of damage" ?
Is it the way around to best simulate effect or am I missing something important?

Well that description is a simplification. How much damage can be absorbed depends on how many shields you have, how much armor you have, how much damage your enemy's weapons do per shot, etc.
Giving shield generators the Armor ability would defeat their purpose.
