Can enemy ships have Augments?

Can enemy ships have Augments? - Person Holding Pizza on Yellow Table

When flying the Zoltan ship, if you get an event with boarders it sometimes justifies bypassing your Super Shields by saying "they must have a Zoltan Shield Bypass installed on their ship!"

Which makes me wonder, is this just a flavour text excuse to justify an otherwise contradictory encounter, or can enemy ships actually have Augments? If the latter, which ships can have which augments?



Best Answer

It is a flavor text only. It is worth noting that bypassing the Zoltan shield augment only exists in the AE, but that flavor text is in both standard mode and AE. See z-'s answer for remaining details.
