Hello, Coco2tugno.
The ship (and equipment) durability is not fully implemented yet (which is why it was never properly announced, nor mentioned in the manuals).
The general idea behind this is to introduce some entropy into the galaxy, to stimulate the economy. It's a "planned obsolescence" kind of thing. So you guessed right.
As for the repair itself, it works like that: each time you perform one (successfully or not), the max durability value gets reduced. And the "current durability" value goes up to the max, in case of success. NPC repairs are always successful. So repairing from either 99/100, 50/100 or even 1/100 would yield the 99/99 result. (Or, in other words, the actual maximum amount of points is 100 + 99 + 98 + ... + 1, but it depends on how often you repair).
Does this make sense?
Yeah, I think. So I can keep the ship longer by repairing at 50 or 1/100, but it's probably gonna cost me way too much per total lifetime. At least when the maximum cap is still high. I see, interesting I love it, thanks!
