This is probably a longstanding issue, but I thought I'd bring it to attention.
The status- namely, damage- of a unit is persistent across save games.
This is best explained by an example:
I was docking with the fighterbase in Cephid 17 when I crashed into it. When I respawned with the ; key, I noticed that the HUD image indicated that the fighterbase a damaged hull. The same thing happened again, and this time the fighterbase had damage sparks coming out of it. I tried loading another save game, and even starting a new game, but the fighterbase would not revert to an undamaged state.
After ten or so repeats of this proccess, the fighterbase exploded. It was gone when I respawned.
I'd target this to be dealt with after release. Seems like we are not saving/retrieving this information when we should be.

it's not only the damage that's saved. the upgrades and cargo available at bases and planets has the same problem.
example: if you don't like the missions you get offered, or the planet/base you are on is out of a commodity it usually has, you can save the game, restart vegastrike and load the game to remedy it.

This has been posted about a few times and used as an exploit by a couple of postersexample: if you don't like the missions you get offered, or the planet/base you are on is out of a commodity it usually has, you can save the game, restart vegastrike and load the game to remedy it.
