I've noticed that at 18 years my ship seems to be breaking components left right and center...
Wow I try not to let anything get over a couple years max, obviously thats not always possible, but the larger the clocktime, the longer the overhaul time needed. Still, I find when I really
really need a fleet fast, they are being overhauled.. Its like the game
knows.
What about MFRD's? Fighters can now be prepared in Hangers and so a huge ship with enough hanger space should be able to repair a ship in the field, I've read that it works for armour, but does that extend to components?
