It's a poor idea simply because it has no logical gameplay reasons for it. The reason there's a shields up part in startrek is that the enterprise doesn't seem to have a capacitator to draw power from, and instead relies on direct power drawn from it's generator. That and poor design choices means that it's not possible to keep shields and other systems powered. Eve however has this capacitator, and since there's more than enough to go around, there's no need for such a thing as actively turning on ones shields.
