I don't think this would be a good idea. The shield on the Vanguard is already overpowered as all crap in a serious tank battle that doesn't end with "Wahh, he slowly moved sideways so I lost", putting similar things on fighters would just make them even more overpowered.

Fighters are already the fastest unit in the game, which means they have a chance to escape from any fight except with another fighter. The only way to kill a fighter for any unit but another fighter is to overwhelm it with such huge damage that it can't get away before it blows up, so adding what you'd call an "Oh shit button" in other games to it that lets it get out of those situations easily would just make it really overpowered.
