    Defending a single attack the shield with the biggest cap that you can find will keep you alive that bit longer. In the rep system the Maco shield was the go to PVP shield for defending against DHC escorts. Since then the elite fleet shields have come out and they are now the new essential, need a fleet with T4 science, however these come in different flavours that have extra defense against some energy types and not others.

    Depending on your weapons and playing style a space set might fit you, there is a wiki page that links to each one and says how to get them. Jemmy one is good for Polaron, Borg good for staying alive but poor shields.

    There are a couple of variables to consider, but I'd have to say the Mk XI Paratrinic Shield or a Mk XII Resilient Shield.

    I'd be more concerned about having Tactical Team cycling.
