Can my spaceship get really dirty, or will it be automatically cleaned after I've landed on a planet? It just tells a story, like 'this scratch was the friggin' Vanduul Scythe who almost got me in the asteroid field.'asked by Blazer

Yeah, actually I just had a conversation with some of the programmers this week about this specific topic, and they were discussing the fact that we can actually allow battle damage to accumulate over time, and they can sort of bake it onto the ship so it stays there. So you can see the history of your fights if you don't go and get it buffed out.
