Are the high wear & tear / integrity bills effectively a new running cost for your ships?

I assume its either unintentional (since at the moment its often cheaper to fly your ship into a station for the insurance screen than repair) OR that its an attempt to get the players with more credits into the smaller ships. Either way I think its the wrong way to go about it.
Flying a Conda into an assassination mission means your cost for the singe interdiction damage is more than the payout for the mission.
Yep, but they just did a patch. It would just be a matter of dialing off some percentage. (I'm aware interdiction damage is meant to be less)
It's a server side problem...
I just always have paid it - is there any downside? I assume it is some kind of madly expensive metal fatigue? What happens if you get down to, say, 30%?
Between that, the low rewards for PP activities, plus the addition of the "fast track allocation" costs, in my opinion FD is trying real hard to narrow the wealth gap. People flying the most expensive ships are going to pay a lot more in maintenance. People that want to try to dominate in prep and control are going to (and are already) pay millions.
You lose a tiny amount of max available hull strength, in other words nothing happens..
Unless that too has been silently changed....
If it's kept the same, it would only matter if you're planning to go battle others, I suppose.
I doubt they would stealth change it, that would essentially be the end of every explorer out in the void. Sandro said they would reduce the rate of wear, that was way back in 2014, I never noticed much difference in rates. It really should be a slower process, taking weeks or months for the average cmdr.
