You cannot fix it... That is your hull integrity... Nothing bad will happen to you, but do not crush into anything anymore... Another bump and you are dust...
EDIT: Ninjaed by mere seconds... and as Zieman correctly said, only repair limpets or docking can help... AMFU does not repair hull damage...

Landing on a high gravity world does result in interesting landings... did you get a video of it?
I didn't but I landed upside down
Did you watch Down to Earth Astronomy landing on a 11G planetary body, by the way?
Didn't watch that.
Hope he didn't botch his landing like I did (I survived though, thanks to shields & engineered hull):
He did, but not the landing itself, it was the taking off. I will watch your video now, thanks for posting! And I get emotional when I land at 2G
EDIT: that downward thrust was savage! And taking off was quite epic too! Nicely done.

What I would do is to try and repair your ship as soon as possible, perhaps some carrier is somewhere in neighbourhood?
AFAIK, yes.
IIRC that only damages modules - maybe even only the FSD (don't remember, been a while since I last did it).
Supercharging FSD is safe.
Supercharge or inject? Supercharging is done in neutron stars' jet cones, and injecting in the synthesis panel. Going into a jet cone with your hull damage, I wouldn't risk it.

Bad (in high-g) habits learned on low-g environments combined with muscle memory can be fatal, or at least damaging.
I think my highest-G body was 2.35? And it was still pretty bad, because as you say, the brain was wired for low G environments.Thanks.

At this moment, only paint is holding your ship together... And paint is worn of with every ly you travel... So be extra carefull now...
Just kidding... I know commanders who managed to stay in the void for months with only couple of percent of hull integrity...
Teen Rooster flight report
I'm 28,154.47ly from my starting point.
I'm 2,411.20ly from Sag A*
I took on board all your advice and because there was a carrier 1200ly from me I decided to err on the side of caution and get her fixed up.
Back at tomorrow with a 100% ship
Thanks again for all your help

POPPYCOCK!!!!! I have traveled many light years with 10% on my hull. Landed on planets with the same hull percentage and suffered no problems.At this moment, only paint is holding your ship together... And paint is worn of with every ly you travel... So be extra carefull now...

Stay to low gravity and you are fine but Zieman is right... find help when you can find it... even those pesty fleet carriers.
You are promoted: ROOSTER: Cmdr. Emmvee..
Assume that you hull plates are 100mm thick..... that is the thickness of the MK 1 Tiger tank in the old days
now 32 percent of that is 32 mm.. you still have 1/3 of the thickness of your hull left... leaving you with the strength of an american M4 Sherman in the old days.
If you are flying with paint only.... then you are flying a YUGO.
