That would be pointless as you then could never get your ship repaired or even back to a base to fix it, or buy a new one. It would also take creating gravity to pull you to the planets/sun. Parts aready do fly off when your and NPC's are hit. You might could create a situation that requires repair at a base, but to tie it in with speed being reduced, ect. Don't know if that is even possible.

What you should do is make the explosions spin your round instead, but i doubt that will be very possible either....I haven't looked into it, but you would have to change handling stats i am sure...as right now those little ships are as solid as a rock on stability, so they will move, but not spin.
