i have fully repaired my asp ex before taking another trip out of the bubble. while looking around it however i notice the cockpit isnt repaired. the panels paint is scratched and my seat edges are looking battered.
there should be another option other than completely buying a new ship, and spending time transfering modded modules and weapons to it, and then kitting it out with non modded stuff again. REFIT.
ships have to enter refit periodically anyway - and eventually get scrapped. im not suggesting this - what i am suggesting is, that after so long, which cockpit state seems to be a good indicator of, you might want to instead of repair ship integrity and normal repairs of paint etc, have a more expensive full refit option. i would also suggest a full refit, while costing a bit more, also means you need a day or so to complete it. but part of the refit will be to update and replace the cockpit. this would also give FD another graphical thing - they can release cockpit UI updates, which you can get applied by refitting your ship. that may not be worth doing for a cosmetic thing since FD will then have to try and redesign the layout around the radar and the panels style etc, and they may just want to say these things are agreed as standards by the manufacturers and authorities and cannot be changed.
but at least i will get the cockpit repainted and a new seat, and perhaps better reliability. reduced rate of integrity wear.
