Does the nav subsystem serve any purpose?? I thought it might prevent the player from jumping out, but when my nav got scragged the jump drive still seemed to work. I'm just wondering whether its a useful system or not.

I wonderred the very same thing.

I think it's more for plot-based elements than for anything else; I know I've jumped out while it was destroyed without any problems. It would be interesting, though, as a FREDder, to create a mission failure if the player jumps without having their nav system repaired; after all, by doing that, you'd most likely wind up in the middle of nowhere.

I once heard that you manuver more poorly with the nav wasted, but I've never lost it, and so can't vouch for the truth of that statement.

yeah i cant say ive ever lost any subsystem, except for a turret when i was flyin an ursa

Play multi on insane, and you'll start losing subsystems quick.

Sensors is always forst to go, followed by weapons.

I swear I think the AI aims the AAAF at them.

I also noticed if you ram something, like a cargo container, with a Seth you'll likely lose the NAV right there.
