It is certain they have some kind of force field. Otherwise, what keeps the air in the landing bay. Several of the novels make reference to this.
Also, one can assume that ghe battlestars themselves have forciefields that can absorb vast amounts of kinetic energy.
Otherwise a single Cylon raider could destroy a Battlestar by accelerating to a high percentage of the speed of light and ramming. The energy in suich an attack would destroy even something the size of a battlestar.
The times we've seen the Cylons resort to ramming attacks, they seem to have required high explosive to do the damage.
