No, it is not realistic, because if the price of 1% repair of the hull integrity is 0.5% of the price of the new ship, it is better to fly to the sun as soon as the hull integrity drops to 90%. Somehow, I am missing the "immersion" in it.

This is what I found waiting for me. Just to confirm - you had NO W&T on exit last night?
I have no idea what wear is on T9, but for Asp, the hull integrity goes 1% lower after 4-6 jumps (depends on the jump length) - approx. 100-120 Ly, maybe sligthly dependent on the amount of cargo (total ship mass).
I am sure someone was whining integrity and fuel cost were too low, players from back in the day when they had to play in the snow with both hands tied behind their backs.
Good Point Commander!
Now wouldn't that be an interesting experiment... oh the pain!
I think there are a lot of hidden changes in PP that need to be checked out. Hopefully there are stations offering fair enough discount on repairs to make it survivable, and I also hear you can buff up yield on trade quite a lot if you pay attention. So maybe (hopefully) credit flow will even out, only we have to keep more track of things than we used to.
I'll keep playing for now but if this is a perment change, im sorry but im out. i just checked my clippers hull and its 84% at 1.8mil to fix, that insane, i want to be a miner,, i cant make that much mining. to be honest i was planning on playing all night but after i saw this im not sure i want to,, whats the point ill just loose money, and to top it off if i dont play ill start to loose my rep with the empire thanks to that new change. if the goal was to drive off all but the hardcore then good job i guess.
You can't make enough to pay for integrity repairs doing 'anything' in this game except trading. You could hunt a big ship RES all day and end up making maybe 5 percent of what you did before the patch or worse if your shields drop you could owe money even if you made 5 million in a couple hours.

Trading will be OK, I suppose. Especially short trade grinding in the style "resonant separators from Y to X and gold back from X to Y"). Rare trading is death (repair costs more than the profit) and exploring is now just a really expensive hobby for rich 1% of players.
Also, I can imagine that using cannons, multi-cannons, railguns etc. (basically everything with ammo and necessary jumping to stations for reload) will costs more than BH profit. Especially with the new AI of the NPCs.
For combat pilots, hull integrity only affects you if you often hull tank as part of your combat strategy... which is unlikely with shield meta being what it is.
For everyone else of which combat is not their main profession, just ignore this stat. It's just a money sink that only the OCD would spend money on.
Pre-1.2 I never repaired this stat on the big ships and nothing bad happens.

If they are as high as they are being reported now, this actually seems like a cost effective idea. Much cheaper to pay insurance than to repair the ship .. oh my.
Yep. Just don't forget to sell all modules before self-destruction. I suppose that this is the "immersion" part of the game...
FD will just increase the insurance to ten times the cost of a ship new.
They basically used the 10% restock issue to distract us from these other changes to the cost of daily game play. Shady way to treat your paying customers Frontier.

Anyone want some of this popcorn? Butter and sririacha salt! Yum!
Your attempts to quell the flames will fail.
Seriously Sriracha sauce on popcorn? Guess I'm old school, as much as I like the stuff on other things.
hmmm, I wonder if they're trying to push us all into the courierdiamondback cheapy ships by making the repairs on big ships greater :/
