why no shields? and i'm still curious at what point of the game shielded chaff come into play? can someone suggest a design?

If you're referring to iztok's chaff-shredder-shredder, it's because the ship is going to die in almost all cicumstances (the attractiveness of that ship is ENOURMOUS, and they won't be a big stack, you'd generally only bring enough of them to mince the enemy chaff shredders.) So why waste resources and minerals on sheilds?

The main point of shielded chaff is to prevent beamers from taking them out easily?

Correct. Against missiles, it would only give any edge against jihad missiles (which do average 42.5 damage through sheilds, against the FF's 45 hull.)
BTW, I sometimes use (partly) gatling chaff, depending on mineral supplies. Awesome minesweepers. If I remember correctly, they cost more boranium, but less resources than colloidal chaff.
