What the hell kind of answer is that? Walking down the street is dangerous, does that mean you should just have to "deal with it" if somebody walks up to you and kicks you in the nuts?

Exploration is pretty much all I do in ED, and I'd love to see changes to it to make it less of a spot the space ball simulator but I doubt they'll make any big changes (more income, better scans, etc) until someone reaches Elite in exploration. Doing so otherwise would have the contest participants up in arms.
Erm, yes?
Erm, i don't think so. I''ve flown from one system to another in SC (they were very close together), 2.5 million LS. I hit speeds of over 1500 and was doing that for about 30 mins. I didn't take even 1% of hull damage. If you really mean W&T it doesn't matter in the slightest outside of combat. Let it get to 100%, its fine. Just don't get into combat in such a situation.
What kind of ship are you using ? Do you have shields? Did you run into a sun or something? I have been to a half dozen systems in a row and not gotten that much intergrity loss, Some people have gone to 50 systems or more.
(60 sec * 60 min * 24 hr * 365.25 days) * .17 = ...
He went 5,364,792 ls - that is .17 ly.
That can be a bit more than 50 systems traveling and traveling is not exploring - that's sight-seeing. No way in hell is someone exploring 50 systems or more without integrity repairs.
I use a cobra for exploration and doing 10 systems costs me about 10% of my ship unless it's just tap the sun and move on quickly.
If you travel 5 million LS you are finding some damn sexy systems that's for sure.
