Talk:Structural Integrity

Reason for Structural Integrity?
Is there any rational explanation for the existence of Structural Integrity? From what I understand, a ship goes boom after the Hull Plating is gone. So is the sole function of Structural Integrity to divide by 10 and give us Hull Plating? It seems redundant. 70.138.233.60 20:30, July 4, 2010 (UTC)Patrick
 * The SI gives the time of construction of the ship. You could also argue Hull Plating is redundant because it's just SI divided by 10. The SI is also considered in the formulas for bringing back ships from an Expedition. Scarbrowtalk 18:35, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
