Captured Xenon ships...

[ElGordo]

... have no shields or weapons? Is this normal or do I maybe have a mod conflict? Or where can i buy them?

You need to destroy a Xenon H in order to collect the inventory item that unlocks the Xenon tech research.

So I'll save em. Quick google for the H and I'm off to the hunting grounds!

you have a chance to capture some with weapons and shields too.
Just got a PE fully equipped, very early into a new game without having the HQ yet.

The tech is only needed if you want to change equip or equip them if the weapons/shields got destroyed.

caped a few small xenon ships got a prob with them still having their pilots tho lol thought that was fixed :o

All the Xenon ships I capture have gear.

Note: Be careful with Bail mods. I had one on and Xenon were bailing. I could capture without the technology.

[ElGordo]

Resolved. Yup, it turned out to be a bail mod. Removed it and now captured ships all have gear. Thx everyone!

I just caped a xenon PE. was shooting it and it bailed. I dont have the tech and I am playing vanilla. so confused.

SE, PE, F, and B most likely have all equipment. The H however will likely be missing at least a few M turrets and maybe Level 1 rather than level 2 L Shields. That you will need to obtain the item the H drops to do the PHQ research to obtain ability to add equipment at your own shipyard for the H.

The H unfortunately will be incredibly difficult to obtain with Elite marines being required and will most likely lose most of them trying to take the ship in the wild.

The "reward" ship will be difficult but you can take it yourself after the coast is clear.

i have them with shields and turrets - but no main-guns :/
is it due to a mod? never touched the xenons though...

Usually if you use a boarding pod to board any ship it will damage equipment.
In my experience boarding a ship your self via scanning in your space suit will leave weapons and equipment intact. Some derelict ships however are just missing equipment sometimes.

Xenon ships come with all their equipment (bar the H) if you get in your space suit to nab them.
