I haven't had issues with NPC components going missing. The only component you need to look out for is the jump module, but you just need to make sure you unequip that first (and save changes) before swapping out the quantum drive itself.
Other than that, the only issue I know about where swapping components makes them go missing is if you're trying to commit insurance fraud. It can still be done, but there's an additional check in place that attempts to mitigate players from doing that.
There could be some other issues going on.
It's also worth pointing out that I've always used the mobiglass for equipping the components. If you had swapped out the components manually, you'll still need to go into the mobiglass, change something on your ship (Unequip a missile, etc.) and then save changes, or else the new components won't get registered for future insurance claims.
As far as the components not working... It's possible they damaged the component beyond repair when they were attempting to soft death the ship.
Huh, the more you know... Thanks for the write up!
I'm guessing you haven't experienced the mobiglas issue with ship changes not saving then? Looks like I'll have to test some more when I have some time.
No problem!
Not in 4.1, but I haven't played a whole lot there either. I did however swap out components from an NPC ship in 4.1 and I haven't come across that issue yet.
I'm salty... This is the only serious bug I've had since coming back for 4.1 and it's ever present - no matter which server, ship or time of day.
Yeah, that would be a frustrating bug for sure. Someone listed a workaround on an issue council ticket for a bug like that, but it was for 4.0.0
Hopefully it helps:

Tap for (possible) workaround
In this photo with the Vehicles < Mobi Glass with the Drake Corsair in display - you will see I have found a workaround to be capable of equipping the component & saving the component. There are YouTube videos for what I am about to explain here.Instructions: (R-ALT + K) Ship Ports Unlocked > Tractor Beam Components Swapping the ones in need > Store Ship > Unequip 1 missile (or any component of your choice) > Save Changes > Close Mobi Glass > Re-Open Mobi Glass > Vehicles > Drake Corsair > Re-Equip 1 missile > Save Changes.
Once done, you may lock ship ports again. This method works with only S1 & S2 components or smaller sizes.
If you ignored my instructions & went straight to mobi-glass to equip these legal salvaged parts - you will soon find out that it will say EMPTY & changes won't be saved properly.
Appreciate the workaround but it won't help in my case. From the same post:
That's my exact problem as neither Aurora nor C8R (the only ships I own) have physical access to components. Thanks for trying to help though!
Edit: Alright, I checked other issues linked in the one you posted and I found another workaround that did work for me. I'll copy it here in case someone has the same issue.
Another workaround
Only need to sync your time , the clock in your machine is wrongHow to sync time in Windows 11: Settings -> Time & Language -> Date & Time -> Additional Settings -> Sync Now.
I have no idea what kind of spaghetti code connects mobiglas functionality to client date but apparently wrong time on your PC can cause problems. I'm not sure if I'm impressed or terrified.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'm finally free!
It was a time sync issue?!?!
Glad it's working for you now!
