Do the astoroid fields that add to shields also shield ships without shields? I'm guessing the fields reduce the hit points of direct fire weapons.

Every ship has a shield level. Some ships have a level of 0. So, if an asteroid adds 30 points to shields, an unshielded ship gets 0 + 30 = 30 shield points when fighting in such a sector. Some stars have the shield adding ability too, you know.
