Nodachi's RAR had no problems at all for me when I opened it in WinRar. Either Power Archiver doesn't fully support RAR format or you had a corrupted download...

And now that I have actually looked at his mod... 500 to 2000 shield points per facility are trivial compared to decent sized fleets. The shield points just prevent you from doing silly things like sending one ship to 10 colonies in one turn and blowing all of them up. On the best of worlds, that is just 60,000 shield points. Have a weapon that does 50 damage, say 4 per ship, and you can get through that in 10 rounds with just 30 ships. Even if someone were to fill a planet with Space Ports (5000 shields each), that would still only be 150,000 shield points, which can be destroyed in 10 rounds with 75 ships. A bit tougher to crack, but quite doable. Especially if you have any stronger weapons available... I am fairly certain that shields do not prevent you from dropping troops on a planet, so you can just drop troops and bypass the shields.
