After going on Distant Worlds ][ I've become exploration hungry.
I am planning to circumnavigate the galaxy
For DW][ I used a partially engineered Asp Explorer with a 45LY range.
It was good, but I learned a LOT on that voyage.
Since then I've been working on maxing out my engineering and getting my anaconda up to 75LY
My question is this:
I've been lightweighting pretty much everything I can. And my current build has a 4A max overcharged-stripped down Power Plant
My only problem with that is its integrity is 66
One thing I found on DW][ was that I couldn't repair the Hull or the Powerplant.
I have an alternate build that has a 74LY range (only one light year lower) but uses a 5A max armored-double braced Power Plant
The new integrity is 268
Am I reading this right? is the 268 going to last me 4 times as long regarding normal wear and tear?
I'm refering to neutron boosting, overheating, rough landings. That sort of thing.
Obviously I'm ok sacrificing the 1LY range if that's the case, as it seems the power plant is a sort of hard timer on the voyage.
