Hull Stress and Region-Tier Warnings

If a hull or structural stress warning tells you to slow down, reduce your speed. A separate warning can indicate that the region is above your ship's tier; it can appear alongside rising hull stress.

Keep clear of terrain as you fly: collisions can damage your hull.
