In overall shape they're close, but a huge ammount of Lucy sticks out through that shield mesh. The problem is simply that that older shield mesh really did hug the hull like a skin, - so the slightest rise in hull height means large areas poke through it on the new one.

Besides, it's another load of work for the collision detection system to handle. It'd be much more efficient using the surface shields feature.
