A way to possibly get better loot...

... from enemy ships.

Sub-target useless components of the hull, like fins, wings, and places where there aren't weapons and things you want.

And a question to go with this: is it possible to loot shield generators? Cuz I've never gotten one before.

It is not possible to loot sheilds in the single player game as far as i know (breslin would dissagree). but even if it were possible to loot a sheild, the NPC sheild have a terrible recharge rate making sheild looting a bit of a waste of time.

Sure its possible, with modifications to the game files.

But, unless you reoutfit your NPC's with Player shields then its pointless. (As was already pointed out)

and retrofitting NPCs with player sheilds would make the game much more difficult because the sheilds will recharge

i think i've looted a sheild before... it was the same as anything else. all npc components are the same except they have unlimited power and don't use nanos/ batts (in vanilla)

you'd have to change the shields to regular ones
can't eqip NPC only equipment
