Its a more situational piece of tech than the axion computers for example but late game when you have a better source (or if your Orion or something) then can turn the tide particularly if your opponent has spent on computers.
Shields, in general, are more situational than computers but I've seen games where shields have dominated the arms race start to finish and battles become about hitting 6's and thus increasing the number of cannons on each ship. Its all about what falls when and who/what starts the race.
