Components are upgrades for starfighters in Star Wars: Squadrons.[1]
Summary[]
Most components in Squadrons need to be unlocked with Requisition, which is gained by ranking up. All locked components require 1 Requisition to unlock. The default components are obviously free, while components added post-launch are automatically unlocked.
There are 6 types of components:
All ships have 2 auxiliary slots, and most Imperial fighters (TIE Fighter, Interceptor, and Bomber) don't have shields.
