'''Components''' are critical parts of the [[Player ships|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 [[Perks#Component Damage Chance|Component Damage Chance Perk]], and the repair costs can be decreased with the [[Perks#Component Damage Repair Costs|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: <code>Base % * Damage / max hull hitpoints</code>
*With the component perks and any ship armor factored in, the final formula for the damage chance is:<br> <pre>(([Component Damage Chance] - ([Component Damage Chance] * [Component Damage Chance Perk Percentage])) * ([Weapon Damage Taken] - ([Weapon Damage Taken] * [Armor Percentage]))) / [Max Hull]</pre>

== Primary Weapons [[File:Icon-Primary.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated: 
* Fire rate is much slower.
* Energy consumption is higher.

== Shield Generator [[File:Icon-Shield.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated: 
*75% slower shield recharge.
*Longer shutdown duration.

== Engine [[File:Icon-Engines.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated:
* Maximum speed: -50%
* Maximum acceleration: -50%

== Secondary Weapons [[File:Icon-Secondary.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated:
*Cannot use any secondary weapons.

== Sensor [[File:Icon-Sensor.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated:
*Sensor strength is decreased.
*Visible markers flicker in and out of view, making targeting anything impossible.

== Life Support System [[File:Icon-Lifesupport.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated:
*The ship/player slowly runs out of oxygen, shown by a percentage in the upper right corner of the screen. Causes death when it reaches 0%.

{{Craft
|nanobot = 1
|scrap = 9
|compound = 3

}}

== Inertia Dampeners [[File:Icon-Dampeners.png]] ==
Effect of being damaged/overheated:
*The ship will keep its momentum and won't stop its movement immediately after moving in any direction.
