Keep it balanced by keeping the upgrades you can give them to a certain level of weapons and armor and shields. It would be a fun little addition if you could give Jenna a better weapon and shield for example.
I believe there is a mod for it already but I think it should be an official add-on.
Thoughts anyone?
Make it possible to upgrade Wingmen's armor & weapons!
Yes, Jenna is "The Load". She is slow and fragile. That said, she is useful for destroying pirate swarms during the superfreighter escort missions right after you recruit her (and for four against one battles in the Battle Arena), and completing those missions without wingmen or overleveled equipment is hard. Upgrading Rama's equipment to endgame level to help him cheat his destiny would be nice too. The one piece of equipment I like to put on their ships is a faster engine.
