I noticed a bug with renegade pirates and with all ships having several lasers.
If a renegarde pirate is in front of me firing at me then my AFT shield is damaged (and not the forward one) (?!)

Switching to a larger ship and encountering a Hydra was very different, but at least those lasers can be shot off very quickly. I did not manage to understand how these laser-pods can be scooped for tons of firearms, though...as if there would exist giants who could wield such a pod.Screet
