i know when i pay to repair my ship it repairs the hull.
and we pay for an up keep cost on items that make up our ship.
.
so why is it when we pay to repair our ships from attack, the items that make up our ship do not come back to 100%.
.
im on the verge of losing my zolanzin jammers and stryll transponder with no way to replace them, from what im seeing my only option to gain more after their gone is to start over?
.
im having a hard time seeing the point of doing missions to gain a 1 time unreplaceable item for our ships if it only last so long our for so many attacks.

when modules break, all you have to do is pay credits and it becomes perfect again. While broken the module provides no bonus, but otherwise works at peak efficiency (even right before it's about to break).

Yea, I switch equipment so often I break it frequently. Those pieces you mentioned are super cheap to replace, so no worries about breaking them. It becomes more of an issue where your equipment costs billions and you need to repair it...sigh...

i must have missed that, i do not recall the option to pay credits and every thing is back to 100%.
where is this option, so i can repair or restore my mission items?

You have to wait till it does break then it will give you that option right next to the item in question. You can not lose one for ever unless you sell it and even if you do hit the sell button on accident it will give you a prompt question asking if you are sure you want to sell it.

There are prompts!? Thank god. My biggest fear... Navigating those pages and inadvertently selling an irreplaceable item...

then i'll wait, was thinking about spending a few bucks to raise my stats to an even 100 on defence, attack, and research, just may spend a few more to increase ship decks to have some better shields and weapons.
