I see it's under Potential Issues, so I'm guessing it's not a confirmed incompatibility?
Anyway, when I made this, FU still had unaimable vanilla shields which is why this exists. The non-FU version had some kind of issue and this fixed that. Not sure if it does anything useful any more...
If you can confirm that this mod is not working as intended (by testing it, sorry, I'm not installing Starbound) or no longer needed (FU disables vanilla shields or makes them aimable) I'll hide it or something, being under "potential issues" sounds like the incompatibility is just speculation

"Aimable Shields - All FU shields are already aimable" -FU Incompatibilities

some shields are held down, some in front of my character's face.. but I think this can be because of a diffrent mod I use, Imma try deleting it and give feedback later

Thanks!

Mods are stored in steamapps\workshop\content\211820\mod_id I think, and the asset unpacker is located in steamapps\common\Starbound\win32 (asset_unpacker.exe).
I think the unpacker needs some commands or something, so do some quick googling I guess.
Good luck!

I suspect an issue with the loading order. Is there a way that I can look into the mods code myself?

Aw

It stopped working.

Neat.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PLEASED I AM ABOUT THIS

I'm using FU and FR, the FU shields no longer rotate when not in use!

Yeah alright, I guess I'll make a compatible version or two when I get the time.

Have now tested and confirmed, removing Frackin races causes this to function properly. Probably prudent to add a disclaimer to the description about that now that we know.

Hm, alright, maybe Frackin Races modifies shield.lua too...

I believe the problem may be a conflict with racial shield features in frackin races, I can't test it right now but I will as soon as I can.

Tried both vanilla shields and FU shields, no difference in the behavior of either.

Did you try using vanilla shields?

Doesn't appear to be working as of currently, no changees to shield aiming behavior when downloaded.

allright thanks for testing it and sorry for bothering you about it

I'm getting no framerate issues at all.
Must be an incompatibility.

Hmm, this shouldn't affect framerate...
I might test this later though.

There is a big problem with this mod, when I have a weapon equiped my framerate will immediatly drop until I empty my hands, maybe the problem was that this mod is incompatible with one of mine
