The two shield ideas are possible to do if you use leaky armor. Armor is the particle shields. Particle weapons skips shields, and impacts on the armor. Shields are the energy shields. Energy weapons skip armor, but not shields. The side effect to this is that armor doesn't regenerate, and shields do. You can counter this by having a regen ability of 0 on the armor, however, in order to make it come back full power after the battle is over. Shield generators can be destroyed however, to reduce the shield points, so armor regen abilities for shield generators might be good as well. In order to completly destroy the shields, you'd have to destroy all of the shield generators and armor pieces.
