If you include one, make it Very small, like 50 radius. Low shield health, I'd think 50, and then a fast shield regen; but regening the block that produces it should take a long time.
Alternatively, you could make a shaped shield; something like a tear-drop shape instead of a circle. So at the back you have like a radius of 20, but then the point is 200 away.

As for whether or not you actually SHOULD include one or not, I'd personally say yes, as long as it's not a very good one. Like you said, the fast-regenerating meat is supposed to act like ablative shielding; having a good shield would negate that. Having a poor shield would give the meat time to regenerate in combat, but it wouldn't be a full-out replacement.

If you can reduce the timer, as you originally imagined, that would be my prefered option as well. (Instead of shields.)

I'd say a small, low strength, and moderatly cheap shield would be enough. You should call it something like "Skin" to fit with everything else. Just a small shield you could have a decent amount of surrounding the outer ends of you ship. Or, if possible you could add some kind of object that strengthins the durribility of blocks around it.

I'd support this :'D

As many have said, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ low HP shield to let the meat regenerate, I think a 100-150 should be enough for large ships and 50 definitely enough for smaller ones, also I must say I enjoy the ♥♥♥♥ out of making an exterior bone ship with meaty inside, I just get close and start spinning, EVERYTHING melts away, it's amazing :D

If you want to make parts regen during battle, try asking the forums on their official website. If im not wrong, the beginner faction's core has that ability. You could try putting that in the faction.
