Hello,
I'm looking for step by step help in shielding any non-fighter ship.
Thanks.

You need to add a "shield" subobject to the model (has to be done in a modelling program).
The object has to be made entirely of triangles, and must not have any holes. However, capships with shields have the bad habit to be a little bit unstable.

Yes there is.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

In Modelview, import shields from an existing model, then resize them until they fit the ship.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
