I dont know about you guys, but i always go up the armor tree early game to counter that threat. Not only do 40kt or armor 3's beat shields 3 in defense (by a measly 10k, but every little bit helps), but its alot cheaper to build then the shields component. I just dont want to waste my research points climbing the shield tree when instead i could have potent weapons and better facilities to help my economy.

The armor tree is quick to research for the first 3 especially, and its a reasonable defense until you come across someone will nullspace cannons or worse - someone with crystal tech AND PPB <shudder>
