SO wear and tear ship integrity ?

Whats the crack with the repairs tab in the station.

my ship integrity is 20% 150k to repair even though i keep my ship at 100% by repairing each time i hit a station

I wouldn't mind paying it but a game crash has already taken 400k off me today so i am miffed and seeing the repair bill has made me furious.

so any help understanding what this does or relates to would be appreciated.

thanks

As far as I have been able to figure out it affects reliability of your equipment. The basic repair on the dock front screen with refuel and rearm, seems to only be the hull of the ship. I spent a lot of time in and out of combat and stations, only using the basic repair, eventually i started having burst lasers malfunction in combat, i was finding safe exits and interdictions were doing damage to my ship. I then had a look at that other repair screen the next time i was in a station and paid for that as well, since then, everything has been working as when the ship was new again.
 
The 20% is taken off your ship hull armor. Basically the more wear and tear the more damage you take, max of 30% more. The planned reputation adjustment for a bad paint job isn't in game yet.
 
The cost of this is wildly out of balance also. im skint. i took a job for 11k cr to hutton orbital (...boy i should have checked that out better.)

Gave up half way and went to another station. that trip and possably 1 or 2 more trades last night before going to bed. (i think i repaired it before going offline but i will give it a few trades benefit of the doubt)

But anyway. that trip plus few more trades, no combat, put me at 80% ship integrity costing 28k to repair.. now i gotta trade some more to repair my ship....racking up more damage. meaning more trading...and on and on ...etc.

This is a good idea but it should cost a very small fraction of its current amount.
