Place a nanomatrix with very small (1 or so) range right on top of it. Make sure the nanomatrix is parented to the shield Shrink said nanomatrix and if necessary alpha it as well so it's impossible to hit and invisible ingame.

Yes, that should work.
To be honest though, I like making fitted shields and believe they look better. You may not have a use for this but I'll tell you anyway.
Spoiler!
Make the background a solid color, i.e. winered. Take a screenshot of the entire ship. Put the newly taken screenshot into the custom sprites folder. Open shipmaker. Place the screenshot as a section. Do whatever effects to it you please but make sure that its alpha is turned down and it is set to additive blending. If you want, for better quality, take a screenshot of it again and use the new one as the section.
Edit* Also, I think that ship looks rather nice.

Here ya go. It's been ages since I've touched shipmaker so this'll explain it better than me right now (plus Anna put effort into that where I wouldn't).
viewtopic.php?f=62&t=5524&p=114767&hili ... de#p114767

Also, for future reference a lot of problems you may have have probably come up already. Before you ask for help it's a good idea to do a search and see if you can find it. It doesn't really matter here since this forum's dead so the occasional redundant post is more good than bad, but it's still general forum etiquette to try to search for your problem first. That said, the forum and game are dead (at least for the time being) so ask away, one of my fellow lurkers will be happy to answer you.

Take a mini-missile, turn it 90 degrees, edit its launch arc to be greater than 90, edit its arc range to very little. Mirror.

You can do the same for any kind of weapon that homes in on a target.
