yes it is possible but you need to edit the hardpoints of the ship for this
for shield u need 2 mounts and 2 shields int he .cmp but when i have done it my game crashes but then the 2 shields are there when i reboot and they work. now if u want doubl;e the capacity uneed to chnage in the shields file combinable = true.

yeah i had a look at that on a ship but then i decided the only ships that would be able to carry to sheilds would be Gunboats up, and thrusters just set up a second HP and go faster. lol

anything can carry sheilds lol

I should know. I've got the Balistner Levathian and the Javelin Heavy Assault Cruiser with 4 shields. In fact every ship in game with the exception of nomad ships now carry shields. What i'm figuring out what to do now is to attach shields to bases and weapons platforms.

easy give the bases and hpmount and a shield mount and u should be good to go right?

Something like that but not so simple considering the format they use is in the solararch and i'm not sure of the effects.
