Well, I have made shields have 20000 points and they are worth the trouble. Of course, you will use them on large and important planets where they will protect your WP-s while they shoot the enemy. That way the large planets can hold very long time against very large fleets. Of course, the 2000 points of protection is way too low, so if you don't mod them they are worthless.

There is something even better - AI from TDM pack will use these shields as well (you are on even terms).
