Regarding some battlecruiser shields, a good example is the Battlestar Galactica.
"As to purely defensive measures, the Galactica is protected by both "electronic shields" and a heavy metal double-pocket hatch shield that covers its panoramic bridge viewport; the latter is closed in "positive shield" state and open in "negative shield" state. However, these might provide limited protection........The Galactica also has the ability to project a broad cone of energy, wide enough to cover much of one hemisphere of an Earth-sized planet, that is powerful enough to destroy ballistic missiles and their nuclear warheads."
"Galactica was seen taking multiple hits from Cylon nuclear weapons and though the ship suffered damage, she was still operational. It is unclear exactly how well rated the Cylon nuclear weapons were versus Galactica's armor. Also, as the nukes detonated outside of the vessel, most of the energy would have been directed and attenuated out into the area of least resistance: space."
After that, I would like to have my own Battlestar Galactica.
Now, about Enterprise NX-01:
"The early launch of Enterprise meant that it left spacedock somewhat unfinished: its spatial torpedoes were uncalibrated, and its phase cannons had not even been installed. "
"Nx-01 neither had defensive shields nor emergency force fields. They experimented with the technology in only one episode. Enterprise had hull polarization. It is based upon a fairly recent finding that showed ceramics are made stronger when electrically charged, it hasn't been shown to work in metals, however. That's what ent does, charge the outer hull to strengthen it. "
"Enterprise was in danger much of the time in the Expanse, due to the presence of spatial anomalies.......It was discovered that insulating the hull with trellium-D could protect the ship from the anomalies......"
Which one is your favorites shields for spaceships ? Electronic shields or hull polarization ?
Or maybe you prefer some kind of Asgard shields ? :-)
But as we know, all shields technology has to start from somewhere.
The NASA is experimenting with some kind of plasma shields to protect their future spacecrafts :-)
