Try the wharf, shipyards are only for L/XL hulls

For me it was at the workbench in the ship trader area of a shipyard, not the normal trader area and not the normal crafting bench. The ship trader area has both benches. That's where I both crafted and installed mods.. mod. You can only install a single mod per ship it seems.

'A single mod per equipment area / per turret or weapon'

- need to dock ship at the place you are crafting stuff at. If you crafted it it's already on the ship I don't think you can do it any other way.

-as another poster mentioned you can't install more than one mod per piece of equiment. Like you can't have 2 weapons mods at the same time on a single plasma cannon.

-carriers can only have the hull and shields modded so I am guessing different ships have different areas that can be modded

-if you are talking about seta then it just stays with the player not the ship

The Paranid Nemesis is a Medium sized ship, so you need to dock at a Wharf and then go to the Ship trader station and use the workbench. I already fully modded my nemesis with the basic mods (which are pretty damn good - if you make sure they are well rolled - -neccesary savescum time--).

I am really struggling on finding the better components though, rare and exceptional versions. I have heard they drop from Xenon, but all the Xenon Destroyers and other vessels I have destroyed only drop basic components. Someone metioned that they come from quests, but i have done a ton of quests and never gotten any. Another person said they come from criminals around stations - but after grinding those for days, i think there may be more to it or perhaps only specific types of stations.

Anyone have info on that?

i have tried that already it will let me craft them but thats all even the redesign option at the console infront of my ship has all the options but paint greyed out still even tho i have mods i can install as for parts i use a mod that makes the traders sell the parts i need since the xenon seem to want nothing to do with leaving thier systems atm

seid dem letzten update kann ich kein schiff mehr mods verpassen sie werden in der schiffswerft an der werkbank für mods nicht mehr angezeigt. Habe auch schon an anderen Stationen versucht wo so ein schiffshändler ist auch an ausrüstungsdocks habe ich es versucht und es geht nicht mehr.

You have to apply the mods to your ship zhen it is docked at a wharf/shipyard and use the workbench terminal. Not the docking terminal or the crafting bench. This part was also something I had missed untill someone pointed it out to me that there are also workbenches which are only available on wharf/shipyard.
