This is almost indistinguishable from Armor, except I assume you want the
protection to 'regenerate' each turn. You could approach it like a variation
on armor:

Shield:
2 mass/6pts(or 3mass/9pts) per shield generator, Each generator provides
two shield points. Shields act as armor, one point of shield can be
regenerated each turn by every generator.

Ablative energy screen only could mass and/or cost less.
