You can sorta do that on the Transport, Large Transport, Train and Large Train but it's not really worth it and you'd probably annoy a few people for having like 7 shields on your ship, even if 6 of them are level 1 shields.

i did that once, and its not worth it.. one shot from any gun one a fighter takes down the "secundair" shields... they only use batts (3 per shield for a full reload ^^) wich could be at better use for that little bit of extra gain;)
"War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage."
well...as far as the six level one sheilds go, remember, they can take a nova....
each one of them.
so....they do help, if you are willing to be that cheap.
