I am just trying to figure something out about power armor. Since the weapon slots and armor upgrades are part of the armor, does that mean do not need proficiency shields or weapons?
I know some who would say it is like Iron Man and the man selects the targets and point in right direction where the computer does the shooting since not actually in hand and same with shields but I know others who would it doesn't matter that don't have direct control.
I think of it as all part of the power armor which is an enclosed system that a computer handles most of the stuff. Couple of sticks for moving and turning with buttons to hit for firing weapons. I also can see having to have the proficiencies as that gives bonuses to make things hit better and do more damage. It is just I find it hard to believe being in gargantuan power armor and proficiency with a weapon making a lot of difference as figure probably looking at a monitor and selecting target for the weapon to fire at and not really having control for the actual shot beyond selecting it.

Power Armor Proficiency doesn't grant any other ability other than to wear power armor without penalty. You still need weapon proficiency if you want to attack without penalty and shield proficiency if you want to use shields without penalty.
Computers are terrible shots in Starfinder, for the most part.
