If so, it'll need a new name, and descripton.

I actually prefer the higher volatility route, like the current system. So 50% chance to take durability hit, global or per item. Not just a 50% reduction in repair cost.

i really dislike the idea of using credits to repair on the fly. seems too much like "god mode" when you have more than enough money to piss it away.

perhaps the ability to only repair up to a certain percentage, at which percentage the item will not work at 100% efficiency.

just make it so that all the stats of an item are actually reduced by the fallen durability of an item.

So lets say that you can only repair up to 85-90% on the fly with creds, so the best you can repair your stuff on the fly is up to 85-90% efficiency.

then i will never have hurt gear if the ability to repair with creds anyplace goes in. I have tons and tons of money and can afford pretty much any amount to repair on the fly.

many people can also do this.

The idea is that if you have tons of money, you could have carried tons of gear glue to keep you going "on the fly" in the old system. This applies to at least half of the classes in game for solo PvAI, and to almost all PvP situations (since 1v1 is rarely drawn out, and group PvP will almost surely have a support class with plenty of hull for GG).

The point is that money could already buy you that luxury in the old system. As long as repairing with credits on the fly costs substantially more than it does while docked, and repair costs are actually increased properly, this system has promise.

I agree as well on allowing you to repair only a certain % of damage on the fly requiring you to dock eventually in prolonged battles. The parts have been a pretty big waste of time and they are annoying to say the least. Pirates can hit the pods if they want the credits. Not like it is hard, especially with impact code now.
