Anyone else notice the "pipes"?

[Rainshine]

Was watching a video with the Vanguard in 2.0, noticed the first exposed pipe system I've seen. Since the pipe system is what ties the whole ship's power grid together, I imagine repairing damage taken will involve repairing those exposed pipes and panels with the hand repair tool.

Here's a photo with the pipes in it;

It's prominent in the rear hatch where you embark and the cockpit necking. With that awesome art for a hand repair tool they released, I imagine any pilot worth his salt will need to be able to patch up the interior damage. I wonder if you get attacked by pirates, after they disable you would they stop firing long enough to let you repair and, hopefully, QJ away?

Sorry totally unrelated, do you still have that video of the Vangaurd in 2.0? I haven't seen that before!

EDIT: Found one

This is going to look so awesome flying next to my Tali

I did see the pipes and stuff in the floor, it would be cool if you had to lift the grates off and fix stuff.

I plan to carry duct tape with me. No need to stop the fight. If duct tape cannot fix it, time to abandon ship.

You clearly forget Tie wraps...the combination can fix everything.. :-)

I plan to carry duct tape with me. No need to stop the fight. If duct tape cannot fix it, time to abandon ship.

All ships come with the following repair kit in the glove box;

I think the Vanguard is for me! Them tales of flying back to base with 1 engine and 60% of the craft gone...my kinda boat!

Talk about hardpoints...

Didn't know there was a Freelancer variant that could be fitted with guns of that tier.

Engineering/Emergency checklist:
1. Did duct tape fix it? (if no, go to 2)
2. Is there a sun nearby to crash into? (if no, go to 3)
3. Quick! Think of a funny way to die/annoy your enemy and proceed to perform that action.
