Not as far as I can see. Although I did read somewhere in game that either the
Paranid or Split are working on scanners that will tell you which sub systems
are fried after hitting them with an ion weapon to take down their shields.

If you have played either of the first two games you will know that there is a
small chance than an enemy will abandon his ship if you keep his shields down
long enough. You can then steal the ship and sell it off or with the right
upgrades have it fly as your wingman and defend you and join you on raids or
have it run trade missions for you.  I am way, way off from this at the moment
as I only have about 20K credits or so.

Not that I know of.
