How far can you travel before 'wear and tear' destroys your ship?

[Tyler-Rid]

I was considering, for a giggle, heading for the far side of the galaxy in an Asp but it struck me that with wear and tear, and what appears to be no way to repair the hull (no stations out there, and the AFM unit doesn't repair hull) the Asp would fall to bits before I got there.

Does anyone know if different ships degrade at different rates? Do we have any idea whether the ships degrade more from jumping, super-cruise or normal travel?

400 billion stars is nice, but if we can't get to the far side of the galaxy then many of those stars are going to be inaccessible.. or has someone already been there?

Wear and tear does not destroy your ship. Only thing ship integrity at 0% does is that your actual hull plating durability is lowered to 70% or so. So you can take 30% less actual damage. But your ship is not going to break like Galactica after last jump.

Ah ha! That's interesting.. amazing what I'm still learning after nearly two months here!

I was following the erimus videos on youtube, I think he made it across but got stuck due to buggy sectors and couldn't log back on until frontier moved him to another sector, where he got stuck again. The game may have 400 billion stars but how many are bugged and broken? It seems quite a few by the number of disconnects and people unable to log back on afterwards after travelling away from the colonized sector. Needs to be patched asap.

Not much at the moment but in future updates there will be a chance of a miss jump where you will end up in a random location.
