At the moment the only element of the ship that can't be fixed with AFMUs or limpets is the powerplant.
It would be brilliant to be able to fix it on foot , after shutting down the ship. It could be from the ship interior so there is some initial gameplay associated to the interiors. But fixing it from outside would also work.
This could happen while in space (very cool but not sure it's easy to implement), or after landing.
Materials can be needed for the fix, but they should be possible to collect without civilisation.
It would be a great addition to exploration. I miss that aspect of ship maintenance in a long trip.
This would allow a Cmdr to live indefinitely in deep space.
