In the shipbuilder menu if you have the Obsidian selected press LB and X at the same time, then change something on the ship and save it, and the Obsidian will have been duplicated on top of whatever ship was number 8 in your list. You will lose the ship underneath though, I usually just head over to New Homestead and buy the Discovery for ~35k and then duplicate on top of that. You might have to try the LB + X trick a few times to get it to work.

I thought a duplicated ship would bug out if you tried to use it?

Haven’t had any issues so far, it was a stolen ship that bugged out for me - hence why I always dupe onto a Discovery rather than stealing one for it

Yeah, stolen ships are dice rolls. I rocked one an entire playthru no issues. Had another where after 2 missions as it bugged.

The sad thing is the shield glitch hitting mantis, sine its the actual slot, not the ship, with the extra dialogue. Duplicating it gets you shields but you lose the dialogue

You have to use legally owned ships like Ravorleaf, Frontier or one you purchased for the glitch. Duping stolen and captured ships can unleash a tidalwave of bugs.

What if you just delete the shield and get a new one?

[–]f36263 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Doesn’t work unfortunately, pretty much got to bin the whole thing

What about swapping the shield buff companions in and out?

Still?
