While flying around in Matrix #79B in my Quasar I saw a Xenon K and thought it would be a good opportunity to snag the "Ship Breaker" achievement. So I methodically rendered the ship inoperable until the K's fighter escort showed up. I "bravely"
fled to take them out, returned to the K and noticed the ships port side engine had repaired itself a bit, I tried cycling surface elements to see if anything else had been repaired, the system showed nothing bizarrely. So I flew around the ship and noticed that a few turrets had also repaired themselves but they also were not showing on the Surface element selection.
