'''Decay''' is the system by which ship components break down over time. Decay has to be counteracted with [[Repair|Repairs]].

=== Global Functionality ===
Every component that can decay has a '''Decay Rating''' that goes from 0 to 1000. As components decay with use, this rating increases. The rate at which this happens is determined by the individual component.

==== Thresholds ====
When repairing a component, the '''Decay Threshold''' is important to determine cost and speed of repairs.
A full repair action will reduce the '''Decay Rating''' of a component back to 0, restoring it to pristine condition.
A partial repair however will only reduce the '''Decay Rating''' back to the nearest Threshold.
Thresholds are set at 200, 400, 600 and 800 '''Decay Rating'''. So a component with a '''Decay Rating''' of 245 will be repaired only back to 200 with a partial repair.

==== Decay Level ====
Thresholds are used to set a '''Decay Level''' for any given component. The level is equal to the current amount of thresholds passed.
A component at 236 '''Decay Rating''' is considered at '''Decay Level 1'''. At 82 '''Decay Rating''' it is at '''Decay Level 0''' and 844 is '''Decay Level 4''' and so forth.

Decay Levels are a simplified way of representing the amount of decay that has accumulated on the component and are mainly used to quickly display information to the player and make things more readable.

=== Individual Components ===
Each component has a different reaction to decay and accumulated '''Decay Rating'''. Before the first threshold is reached, the component functions normally. Each threshold crossed will diminish the functionality of the component in some way. A component that has reached a '''Decay Rating''' of 1000 stops functioning entirely. Final values are to be determined by playtesting.

 == Visual Feedback ==
 Decay is invisible until it reaches the fourth threshold at 800 points. Once a component is damaged beyond this point, a visual indicator of the accumulated damage should be visible on the component. A different indicator should exist for a component that is broken down upon reaching the full 1000 points.
