Persistence across rounds - Feedback and follow-up

[greenjoe]

Idea for persistence: equipment/machinery maintenance. Slowly, over rounds, there would be some number on the ship's various equipment and machines that ticks down, randomly and/or from use. It would give a warning on the particular machine when the number is low, saying maintenance is required, and the machine would cease functioning when the number hits zero. Engineers, machinists, tech support for some things? would be the ones to come by to perform maintenance, needing the right skills, plus possible materials/parts to do so depending on the equipment, which would reset the number on that equipment
