There is no similar concept that I can conceptualize for "Let's combine all the shields of every ship into one big shield". I mean, be honest, if it was possible, you don't think that there would be burn throughs at points of concentrated fire? Really?

Why not? Ships of the same design, with identical autopiloting computers, flying in extremely close formation, overlapping shields of exactly the same specs, while the enemy fires at them form a significant distance away... 
It would then take pretty good accuracy, and also a severe weakening of all the overlapped shields, to hit & puncture a single ship in such a crowd. 
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
