Ships aren't safe

Description
This strips the damage protection you normally have on ships. It is possible to take damage and die. Not much to say about it. The invincibility doesn't make sense in the first place.

Now just to be very clear to those who might find that simple concept confusing - normally in Starbound you cannot take damage from any source while on a ship... not that many things are normally there to harm you anyhow. But things like falling from a height could if not for your invincibility.

And what's more, no one would make a mod that adds space combat(ship invasions etc) or other creative cool things when you can't even be harmed in space. The citizens of Earth should have just hung out on your ship so the Ruin can't harm them, right? It isn't necessary and slightly immersion breaking. Space isn't a safe place and you should not feel safe there.

I made this in part because someone brought the issue up, so I addressed it. But also because other modders could use this as a basis for making cool things happen on/to your ship. In which case you could require this mod... or just include the code. Nothing amazingly complex here. Nothing likely to change except to match changes made in vanilla code after updates etc.

FYI don't use this if you have Supper's Combat Overhaul. Anything that generates healing numbers will damage you while in your ship if you have this mod on.

The mod was what I was looking for but it has a bug that means you can't heal inside the ship...
Apart from that, I still haven't tried it completely and I don't know when or who is going to invade me but hey... thanks for the mod.

Finally, a mod that fixes this!
I too have always found it dumb that you can sit in a literal pool of lava or poison and not be affected solely because "it's my ship, you have no power here", so thank you for the fix :ponyisland:

I distinctly remember falling to my death several times over on ships before... I guess that was during early access.

Seperate mod that applies this to The Ark?
