From the Hammerhead Q&A: Does the Hammerhead come with military spec components or civilian ones since it is a military ship being sold to civilians? It comes with Military Grade C items stock, although once these are worn out people may find it more efficient to replace with other types for durability given the expense/rarity of replacing these. I do not mind wear (as long as it's reasonable) and required maintenance scaling with the quality/rarity of components would be a borderline acceptable moneysink, even tough I feel like we have more than enough moneysinks before we even have any kind of economy. However, having Components wear out without the ability to restore them to 100% at the next repair shop makes it seem rather futile to waste time upgrading those components. So please don't put a mechanic second only to Lootcrates in SC unless the idea has shifted from "Best Damn Space Sim Ever" to "Most Tedious Micromanagment Sim Ever". To be clear: I do not mind reasonable maintenance for Ships, but having Ships and/or components degrade to a point where they either have to be thrown away or can't be restored to their original state seems counterproductive and honestly, it's something that really would make me second guess my investment in SC.
