Bainsey7 How come when I've powered up a station to loot it (abandoned due to Thargoid attack etc) I can't then take back my power regulator once I've finished? They're often worth way more than anything I find in the settlements and it's really annoying when it's sitting right there in the regulator housing saying "take" but there's no option to do so.
Are you doing restore missions, or just going to a location and looting?
If you are taking missions to restore power, you cannot remove the regulator once it is in place because as soon as you place the regulator, the mission is marked as completed.
However, if you go to a location without taking a mission, you can use a regulator to power things up, then take it back once you are done looting. I suggest doing that at locations where there are corpses. That way, you can copy a dead person's security level and not have to either cut your way into things, or hack data terminals
