Best Ship Parts?

[Glueman]

Kinda new to this game and I'm wondering what are some good ship parts to look out for.
Here's my current ship.

S.S Friendship. - Intrepid
Corbin's Wall - Shield Generator
ThermoCore Reactor - Reactor
Ludicrous Range Jump Module - Jump Module
C.C.G Hull - Military Grade - Hull
Lightning Turret & Burst Turret - Turrets
Straight Shot & W.D Special - Missle Silo
And Various Programs and Stuff.

You can get special main guns from two of the bosses (exclamation points on the map), and one of the other bosses drops a special missile. I won't spoil the surprise by telling you which one is which. There's also a random mission ship that drops a special warp drive called the Dark Drive, so keep an eye out for that.

I approve of both the Lightning Turret and the Burst Turret. If you want something different, the Defender Turret is pretty neat - it shoots homing rockets and has the highest DPS in the game by far, but it's short range and not very accurate.

Personally I'd recommend switching out your shield generator and reactor for more "normal" ones, but do whatever makes you happy. High-level Deathseekers and Shock Drones drop the best reactors in the game, plus some really nice thrusters. The best shields are (arguably) the Military Grade Shield Generator, which you can buy from shops or loot from normal ships, or the Tetragonal Surface Projector if you can find a high-level one at a specialty shop.

Ooohh, thank you.
