Seriously, what's with ship integrity?

[glynie]

What effect does it have on your ship? What happens when it hits 0%?

When you reach 0% integrity you turn into a politician

 

[NettiWelho]

If your integrity hits 0% only effect will be that your hull will take 30% more damage.

I don't know what will happen, but not whiling to find out.

You, sir, just won the internet today.

I heard that it increases your hull's vulnerability to damage, also that 0% might cause module failures. If it did cause module failures, FD should add a way to see your Ship Integrity when away from a station (like in deep space for explorers).

Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.
Integrity: the state of being whole and undivided.

hmmm not the first but maybe the second.....wouldnt want a divided ship

According to this forum anyway, your ship's maximum hull strength is reduced by 30% when integrity hits zero. Think Dark Souls max HP pool reduction every time you die.

It's another silly credit sink they put in purely to make you have to spend credits.

Imagine your cockpit windows being replaced with plastic and duct tape... Chewing gum used to plug the holes caused by micrometeorites... Now, imagine the likelihood that it will break apart if someone coughs in the general direction of your ship...

Now imagine that it's just a max HP reduction instead of any kind of deeper simulation of wear on the ship structure and equipment, and there we have it.
FE2 had a more advanced, interesting and realistic W&T system.

I believe that low integrity reduces the strength of your hull (reduces it's maximum 'hit points').

No idea of the actual formula used, though.
