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.
