'''Hull Integrity''' is a feature of every ship and [[SRV]]. All ships have a hull percentage. The hull bar is located between the speedometer and [[Power Distributor]] pip in the [[HUD]]. Every ship ia equipped with a [[Shield Generator]] which protects the vessel from physical damage. If the shield is down, the hull will be vulnerable to any external damage. The ship gets destroyed if the hull reaches 0%. You can rebuy a replacement of the ship for [[credits]] at a [[station]].

Ships ~~are not invulnerable~~ in [[Supercruise]] ~~since~~ overheating ~~can be fatal~~. [[Heat]] accumulates near a star, and by using [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)]]. ~~Passengers onboard~~ will ~~send~~ a ~~message~~ to ~~the pilot's Inbox to inform that they are scared and demand~~ the [[~~Passenger Carrier~~]] to ~~stop~~.

== Hull damage ==

There are 4 hull damage types:

# Thermal: causes high shield damage, but low hull damage.

# Kinetic: is the opposite of thermal with high hull damage, but low shield damage.

# Explosive: deals high hull and external module damage.

# Absolute: ignores resistances. The damage can be reduced by using [[Bulkheads]].

Ships in [[Supercruise]] cannot be damaged by collisions or weapons fire, but they can still suffer damage from overheating, caustic damage, or from an [[Supercruise#Emergency Drop|emergency drop]] out of supercruise. [[Heat]] accumulates near a star, and by using [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)]]. Caustic damage is almost entirely caused by hazards of [[Thargoid]] origin.

[[Passenger Carrier|Passenger Carriers]] must have 100% hull integrity to take on passenger contracts. If a ship suffers hull damage while passengers are aboard, the passengers will be frightened, reducing their satisfaction level.

== Repair ==

To repair hull integrity, you can use credits to pay for repairs while [[Docking|docked]] at any location offering repair facilities. Ships equipped with a [[Repair Limpet Controller]] can use limpets to repair ships, including themselves.

A [[Hull Reinforcement Package]] can be installed in the [[Internal Compartment]] to reduce incoming hull damage.
