W+T back to stupid values?

- Start date
Got a Vulture an hour ago and kitted it out about mid-range. After about a dozen AI kills testing it at a Nav Beacon I come back to the station, with 948cr repair bill and 20,000cr integrity repair. As other threads have said, it is heat damage to modules that happens first now rather than hull. You can see the % health on the Modules UI panel (don't be fooled if the hull integrity stays at 100%, if you see sparks and smoke and the lady warns you, damage is happening to modules but you can see it). I am not sure if 20,000cr is high or low for the Vulture as only just got it, but it feels a bit steep, all modules were between 90 and 99% except the chaff launcher which was at 75% for some reason, maybe it took a direct hit.
Yeah, they changed it so rather than fighting in big ships being expensive now everything you do is.
I don't know but the update notes says W+T changed to "sensible" values,maybe it went a bit wrong again 
In beta build 4, W&T after interdiction damage was 10x the repair cost for the Python.
In 1.2 release, W&T on a well equipped Cobra after interdiction damage is equal to or slightly lower than repair cost.
I thought this was fixed between build 4 and release, but now it seems that bigger ships are still suffering from extreme W&T cost. That would be disappointing...

This is garbage. The W&T costs have gone up 10x (literally, I'm not guessing here).
I left 1.1 with a W&T bill of about 4200 credits and upon loading 1.2 it became 42,000.
I paid it and went one round trip in my trade route, for a total SC travel of about 400 ls, and I have almost a 5,000 credit W&T tab.

Clearly their "sensible" values have gone insane again,try not to fly my conda until fixed

Well in some situations it seems it has been reduced. Has the speed in which you get wear and tear increased? I haven't played in a while and I can remember how fast hull integrity went down.

Noticed that as well. Yesterday 1% W&T was arround 3K for my Conda and i thought "Yay, that thing you could even take out for exploration" (not that i actually would do that). Today, 1% was 50K and all i changed was adding two shield boosters. Nothing i can handle, but there is an increase. Maybe something to counter the reduced repair costs a bit.
Its intentional, use some common sense
they decrease hull damage and the rest.
Wear and tear goes up BUT its something that can be repaired by other means, namely the maintence bot. Its an incentive to carry one around more often. If you really cant afford the cost then buy one, repair and sell it back and accept the cost of the ammo. You now repair on the fly to reduce your sit down repair costs.
Atleast for me, this is how i see it. They've taken a similair approach to it like they did fuel, rather than just run out and drop a "gimme fuel beacon" that costs load, you fuel scoop. W+T has been made into the same situation.

Wait...so the repair bots can repair Ship Integrity?
Wear and Tear caps out at 30% weaker hull, so it's nothing too terrible. Probably just a money sink to compensate for lower repair costs. Although it kinda doesn't make sense given that the point of reducing w+t was to reduce overall running costs...and this does the opposite.
What, where can I get a maintenance bot??
By the way, the Ship Integrity repair costs differ from station to station in 1.2
So be careful where you do maintenance on your ship.
Actually I start to like that idea...
