Most of the problem with PvP right now is the fear of loosing your kitted out and cannoned out ship to random encounter , accident or stupid mistake.

On one hand players put countless hours to build and equip they dream ship with the best kits, modules and equipment they can find, and on another hand game need money/resources sink and crafters need an income.

My proposal:

Create new items

1.Ship salvage rights - when your ship sink you can craft/purchase ship salvage certificate which is ship specific and crafted by crafter who can craft original ship using  portion of  original recipe.

2. After every battle when you taking damage by using repair kits or  even on port you are not able to fully restore your ship to original specifications. to do so you need to acquire a Ship refit process (working title) - which is required to fully restore your ship to original specifications. Ship refit is ship specific and crafted by crafter who can craft original ship ans cost portion of all mats required fro original recipe.

3. Make all cannons ,lost in battle- be lost forever or make cannon refit kits, that work the same as ship refits. 

Salvage process and ship refit process is time gated, take 48-72 hours for salvage and 24-48 hours for refit, which may force people toward lower level ships for a time.
