Seriously, why can't Military Compartments hold shields?

Explorers have been known to fly without shields... It's purely a decision of what's more important to you. 
Was looking to make an IEagle into an exploration vessel but now I cant since id be flying shieldless.
I'm glad someone else is out there wondering why we can't put shields (arguably a Military Internal anyway) into the Military Compartments... especially since it relates to the iEagle! Wonderful little ship.
IIRC, someone did manage to circumvent the galaxy in one without shields a while back.
You can add me to the list.
We all know it is a simple code change that is required and BOOM! It would be possible.
Even from a Lore perspective it doesn't make sense since Shield Cell Banks are allowed in those slots and they are far more demanding on power requirements and ship components than the main shields.
I agree very much.
Sounds good, let's do set bonuses too. When both HRP and MRP are used in Military Slots, the hit boxes of modules become smaller making the modules harder to hit. When Shields and Shield Cell Banks are used in Military slots, lose all Shield Cell charges but add a permanent regeneration boost to the Shield.

Well, if you've got the right grandfathered module...
I'd actually prefer if MRPs / HRPs were changed to ONLY fit in military slots (a few military slots may need to be added, here and there).
Circumvent? They bypassed the entire galaxy?!?!!?111!?
Circumnavigated [wacky]
Though given how fast that thing can go, it wouldn't surprise me.
Ummm, depending on how you look at it, there either isn't a problem - or the problem isn't going to be solved by putting the shield in the mil-slot anyway.
You could go for something like this:-
3A Fuel Scoop.
2G Vehicle Bay.
1A Shield Generator.
1C Disco' scanner.
Presumably, you're going to want to take a DSS with you as well.
If that's the case, ditch the shield.
The real problem is, the 2C fuel-tank doesn't leave you much room for error so ideally you might want to fit an internal tank too.
And then there's the likelihood you'll want an AFMU too.
Which means you still have to pick other stuff to get rid of as well.
Personally, when I went to Sag A in a Sidey, I fitted it with a 2A scoop, 2A tank, 1A AFMA and an ADS.
No shield, no SRV and no DSS.
