Is there a bug with Prospector shields? I have looked and it has a shield unit and I have been making sure it is turned on, but it still shows zero shield and there is a warning on the screen that my shields are down. No other ship I have tried has this issue, seems to be only with the Prospector. Is it a bug??

I checked and there is one installed and it is not damaged. When I click the shield power button it will say "shields on", but the warning never goes away and you never get any shield marks on the shield screen. I am quickly running out of money getting my prospector set up so will probably have to live with it until I can get more money together to replace the shield unit and see if that makes a difference.
Maybe I should try to get a little bit of damage so I can trigger the repair option, maybe that will trick it into working?

Sometimes components don't get powered up correctly after they are swapped, when this happens go into the Power MFD, second tab, scroll down to the component, then power cycle it a couple times until you see it power up correctly.
PSA - Remember everybody, shields are a barrier of protection & protection is always important to have in order to stay safe. There's a lot of things out there that you don't want contact with. ;p
I went into the PTU to test why the shields weren't working, thinking maybe the new laser was drawing too much power. Much more money to work with there, so can throw money at the problem without worring about running out. They started as soon as I turned on the ship, like they should. So, I went into the PU and loaded the ship.... no shields. So I tried your suggestion on cycling power to the shield as well as playing with the shield balance. At some point I clicked the right button and the shields turned on.
Of course I finally get this working on my "Monday". My alergies are kicking my ass right now, so not sure if I will go in and be miserable with my alergies in a cleanroom or just call out.

If I have an issue with certain components not powering on, where power cycle wouldn't help, I go to the Power MFD -> Items and look for the item which doesn't work. Power it of and on here always fixed the problem for me
