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?

The Ark is still safe

It actually is possible to die on your ship without this mod on two conditions:

1) Touch the "Core" (very bottom of the world) in non-admin mode.
This normally is impossible simply because of the fact that the MM simply can not destroy the ship. I only found this fact out because of your Shipyards Rebuilt mod. (Special thanks to bk3000 for making the mod.)

2) Drown while in bed in healing water.
I found out the hard way that a level 4 ship with a medic, Regeneration 1 (healing water), and a Titanium bed isn't enough to cancel the health loss from lack of oxygen.

Why anyone would ever do these things is beyond me, but then again, I did them, so, who knows?

I don't use this, but keep up the good work, bk3k!

I don't know if this has been mentioned before yet, but this mod also makes the beneficial traps (the gas trap things that give you a jump boost, speed boost and the like) work on your ship.

Normally, if you managed to acquire said beneficial trap things and set them on your ship, they wouldn't work. This mod makes them work.
