I know that some of the game options can be changed after you load up an existing game, for example you could start a game with none of the spoilers then decide you want to add them in (but not take away). But does this apply to all the check box options for the load up screen where you select which campaign your wanting? I tried to add the checkbox for no overhauls as the maintenance side of things was getting silly with micromanagement. I figured it probably will only work with new ships, so I designed a test ship that was made up of just military engines to the stage of an AFR of 4000%.
After spawning one of these ships in sol I carried on the game as normal. However after 11.54 months floating free in deep space, this ship just had a maintenance failure on one of the drives. I was under the impression that aside from crew morale issues it should be able to sit in one space for eternity. Can you not add the no overhauls option to an existing game?
