About this mod
Do cars last forever? No. They wear down.
Now all ships in the X Universe will slowly wear down, to the point of catastrophic failure. Crews will bail, ships will explode and your ship can be a ticking timebomb if not maintained.
Good luck.

More Immersive Space: Ship Degradation
Now all ships in the X Universe will slowly wear down, to the point of catastrophic failure. Crews will bail, ships will explode and your ship can be a ticking time-bomb if not maintained.
Or go Nav Beacon Hunting! Explore the universe and make a fortune bringing in salvaged ships, rescuing trapped crew from their crippled ships and giving them a future in your salvage empire.
Good luck.
Features: v1
- Simulates very gradual wear and tear on ships
- Docked ships do not suffer damage
- Increase wear near asteroids to simulate dust/debris getting into systems - maintain your mining ships
- Very, very rare chance of a ship getting struck by micro meteoroid (high damage chance up to 25% )
- Playership sound effects of dust/debris hitting hull near asteroids (speed and distance dependent)
- Default value (7) allows a ship a lifetime of around 12 hours ( a non mining ship should last ~ 24 hrs)
- Under 10% hull there is a small chance of components being destroyed
- Under 3% hull there is a chance of catastrophic hull failure destroying the ship and/or crew ejecting
- Crew has a 50/50 chance of ejecting if destruction is going to happen
- A damaged ship, especially if you're flying it, is a ticking time bomb!
- Ships in bad repair/about to destruct will eject a nav beacon (feel free to destroy these) so the ship can be found ... start exploring the universe!
- Some crippled ships may still have a crewmember on board -- be nice, save them
Great for scavengers. Great if you have too much money. Not so great if your ship is an ill-maintained, damaged mess and your miles away from a dock.
