Ship Integrity, Clipper vs Python
- Thread starter Quineloe
- Start date
Wow my integrity repair went up to 104k while the Clipper was docked.
But I bought a 7B shield generator. Let's see..
Oh look, after switching to the python, then back to the clipper (It did not change right away), the repair is down to 77,622 credits (I bought a bit more stuff than just the shield generator) after having sold the Shield generator!
It's actually based on the value of your entire ship, not just the hull - disregard the fact that you can just sell all outfittings, then buy them back.
What amazes me is that the Clipper is only at around 90 million credits while the python is at 65 million - yet the Clipper is far, far more expensive to maintain hull integrity on.

As Derath clearly states here, his combat Python is more expensive on Integrity than my Combat Clipper. So that's not it. It is in fact that outfittings drive up the price of the ship integrity.
How to keep integrity damage costs down:
1. Sell everything
2. switch to another ship
3. switch back
4. Repair Integrity
5. Buy back everything
I'll be doing what you suggested and selling modules then swapping ship to pay it off lol, your bill doesn't look too bad!It might seem strange, but actually it makes a lot of sense.
The Python is a pretty standardised common ship, so it's likely that most stations have spare parts, and given it's fairly generic design it's hull plating is likely very easy to replicate on-site. It's also a medium-sized vessel.
By comparison, the Imperial Clipper is not only bigger, but incredibly rare. That means spares are likely hard to come by. As if that isn't already enough to push the maintenance costs up, it has a completely custom built hull that is likely very complex and difficult to replicate (read; 3d print) on-site.
In other words, the Python is a pretty generic production ship as where the Clipper is as close to hand-built as a space craft is ever likely to achieve in 3300.

You see that 932k repair bill? That is a PYTHON. please read the entire thread. There is no special integrity repair on the Clipper, it comes from the expensive A outfittings.

My ship is 7.8mil rebuy so... 156mil says calc, that sounds about right.
Wow someone at FD didn't pick the right variable there it seems.
