Organic tech is great. if you research organic tech to get organic armor, you wont have to worry about researching shields or regular armor,

Higher level shields are a lot more powerful than organic armor. In fleet combats, ships usually get destroyed or crippled in a single round once they start getting fired upon, so you want as many raw hit points as you can get. OA doesn't get much of a chance to regenerate. Incidentally, this is what makes Shield Regenerators not very useful. Your ship has to survive for some 7 rounds (with the highest level) after starting to take damage for 2 shield regenerators to provide better defense than having a phased shield generator V instead.
