How to transfer a Sentinel Interceptor into a Shuttle (this works for transferring better stats and layouts to all ships):

Me * In the Space Station with a Shuttle (the ship I want to make stronger) as my primary ship.

Friend * Joins me in the Space Station. * Buys an NPC Ship (does not get in). * Leaves the space station in his original ship (leaving the NPC Ship at the Space Station). * Calls their freighter but does not fly into the freighter. If your friend’s name does not disappear from the NPC Ship they need to fly a bit farther and call the freighter again.

Me * Claim my friend’s NPC Ship for free when their name disappears from it. * Enter and exit to create a Restore Point. * Leave the Space Station in the NPC Ship and land on a planet (leaving the Shuttle at the Space Station). * Call my Sentinel Interceptor (fully upgraded with all tech desired). * Fly my Sentinel to the Space Station. * Get out of my Sentinel and re-enter my Shuttle. * Core values, SC layout, Sentinel core technology, and inventory from my Sentinel Interceptor are now copied to my Shuttle with the exception of core Maneuverability which remains the original value of the Shuttle. * My Sentinel Interceptor is sacrificed in the process. * Exit to create a Restore Point and Reload. * Core value of Sentinel Maneuverability is 245-302.5, Shuttle is 272.5-330; any Shuttle higher than 303 becomes superior to a Sentinel though they will not hover like a Sentinel.

WARNING:

The Sentinel Interceptor gets sacrificed in this process.
