I got inspired in some of those links and came up with a new set of shields for anyone to use in their mods.

Holo shields - lighter than the other two, but low defense bonuses. (15kt and 5 levels. Starting at 20% + 5% per level to max 40%)
Cloaking shields - Average weight of a standard shield with medium defense bonuses. (30kt and 5 levels. Starting at 30% + 10% per level to max 70%)
Phase Shields - Heaviest weight with High defense bonuses. (60kt with 5 levels. Starting at 40% + 15% per level to max 100%)

Technology requirements:
Holo - Computers 3 + Computer Combat 1 + Phyics 2 + Shields 1
Cloak - Physics 4 + Cloaking 5 + Shields 1
Phase - Phyics 3 + Stellar Manipulation 1 + Phased Polarized weapons 5 + Shields 1

These shields are stackable with standard shields and armor which includes stealth armors, etc.

Picturing it:
Holo shields is all about misrepresentation as it makes the ship appear other than what it really is. Larger, smaller, diferent shapes, weapons in fake spots, engines in fake spots, etc. It causes the enemy to misjudge fire at the Holo Shielded ship.

Cloaking shields are classic Star Trek with the Romulan/Reman battleship called the "Scimitar" that could fire while cloaked.

Phased shields calls on Star Trek again where the Romulans and later in the episode the Federation are able to cloak and Phase out where objects simple pass through the ships.

The 'J' is right of the 'H', left of the 'K'.
The 'Y' is left of the 'U', right of the 'T'.
The 'W' is right of the 'Q', left of the 'E'.

That's assuming you have a standard keyboard.
