The component UI in-game.
For component resources in Everspace 2, see Components (ES2).Components are critical parts of the player's ship in Everspace. They can be randomly damaged if the ship's hull is below 75%, or can randomly overheat during a battle. If a component is damaged or overheated, it will continue to function but at a significant penalty. Secondary weapons are an exception and no longer work while damaged or overheated. The chance of a component being damaged can be reduced with the Component Damage Chance Perk, and the repair costs can be decreased with the Component Damage Repair Costs Perk.
Damage Chance[]
The chance for a component to be damaged is based on a formula and a percentage based on current hull hitpoints.
- There are three different base chances for component damage for every hit: 1% if hull is below 75%, 1.5% if below 50% and 2% if below 25%
- Components cannot be damaged when above 75% hull.
- These base chances are modified based on the max hitpoints of the ship and amount of damage the hit deals:
Base % * Damage / max hull hitpoints - With the component perks and any ship armor factored in, the final formula for the damage chance is:
(([Component Damage Chance] - ([Component Damage Chance] * [Component Damage Chance Perk Percentage])) * ([Weapon Damage Taken] - ([Weapon Damage Taken] * [Armor Percentage]))) / [Max Hull]
