Mass shielding was a protection against space debris (encountered at speeds up to 0.5c). It served as a defensive system that happened to also work easily against missiles, making them useless in ship-to-ship combat. When re-phased, it could also block attack by electron orbital randomizers. In at least one design, jump drive engines were put in the back of a ship, with mass shielding to the front.
