Has anyone taken a look to see if there's a corelation between vehicle quality and maintenence? Example, does a 89%vehicle require less maintenence, over time, than a 50% vehicle of the same type? I've recently mastered Artisan and I'm willing to run a scientific test, but I want to be sure no one has aready done the work...

It seems to me that the repair cost is XXc per percentage of your bike's ham, so a bike with 2.2K ham would be cheaper to maintain than one with 1.2.K ham...

Not 100% sure, but my current bike has 1.2k ham and seems to cost me A LOT in repairs then my previous one (destroyed by an evil light jedi)

Costs the same - no matter the ham. Its just low quality bikes means you need to repair it more often.

Still costs the same though.

mm. decay seems to be the same for all bikes, but one with 1K ham hits 0 when one with 2k ham only hits 1K....that's wshat I based my assumption on...

Tried this already.

Two swoops - one experimented up, one made with shoddy resources.

Both had about 1K damage and the repair costs were very similar. That's why I don't care about the quality/HAM any more. *shrugs* The only advantage of high QL is that I can go for longer between garages

it costs 4cr per 1 hp (for NPC garages) for a repair regardless of the bike OQ. Less ham means you be fixing it more... high ham mean you'll go longer, but pay more in the end because of the extra.
