You can have any specialized WP's that you want. Damage to the planet has to chew through the WP's first so the all shield design is a good idea. Also, WP's get destroyed in order (top-down) so put your shield designs first.
No, they are destroyed in the order of least hit points to most hit points.

Edit: next time, I read the whole thread first!

Hmm, here's an idea for a mod (P&N maybe - SJ seems to love these sort of tweaks )... a 10 kT "MicroPlat" which requires no command center and only has room for an armor or combat sensors... that way you could armor your weapons platforms since the MicroPlat would have the fewest hitpoints (unless you modded in obscenely tough armor) it would be destroyed first!

(Odd, I thought WP's were destroyed in the order they were deployed, or maybe the reverse of that order... or was I thinking of satellites? )
