Not in my experience. I have died muchly and the only ting that suffers is your ship and its parts.

it shouldnt. usually you should show up in dathomir after dying, fully repaired. for some reason i came out with still a little damage left to my armour but simply going back and dying again fixed that. now, if deep space wouldnt be a slide show in many places with the target indicator sometimes jerking and jumping all over the place...

Ok cool, i kinda knew about the component decay but i was curious if the armor since it takes damage durring fihgting also drops. Maybe i may go into deep space and give it a go in my A wing.

decay seems to happen when you get repairs. i dont know how it was before that update, but now you show up fully repaired if you die in deep space which feels a bit like a cheap work around and makes me believe that before that you had to repair as usual. but probably a lot better than keeping track of which damage was taken were. of course it makes me wonder if that turns deep space into a free repair exploit? not that the repairs are that expensive but it would also allow to basically cheat yourself around the usual decay by going to deep space and letting them kill you instead of going to a station for repairs.

anybody tried that so far?

the way it works is when you leave deep space, under your own power or in a bodybag, all damage that your ship has sustained, whether it happened in deep space or somewhere else before you went there, is repiared automaticly with no decay. sometimes armor wont get fully repaired, but just hypering in and back out should return it to maximum condition.

You don't even have to let them kill you, just enter Deep Space and hyper out, and you'll be fully repaired. And considering only Aces can enter DS, so I don't think the expliotissue is that big ofa deal.

whats 30k xp when one gunboat gives you that and you have nothing else to spend it on. i had 30 million prestige when i retired to take a different squadron, and i went to deep space all the time.

Also it costs like 30k prestige so its not totally free anyway.

true, but it's not so much about not paying the credits (repairs are cheap enough, but knowing soe they will probably make them cost 50 times more instead of making speeder repairs cheaper so i wont always have to ask myself if buying a new one wouldnt be cheaper).
it's a neat trick to prevent decay if you have taken a ton of component damage. though on the bright side, how often do you get shot up badly and still manage to get away? about the only train of thought i could imagine that made them do it like this (either that or no train at all *cough*).
