Or, is it just watch and pray the game is merciful?

Bladesinger79,

This could probably be accomplished through LUA scripting. Periodically check (every x minutes) for the ship's damage level. When it exceeds some point, delete the damaged ship and replace it with a new one and assign it to the same mission if any. Any specialized loadouts/cargo would have to be reestablished also.

No guarantees on this though, it might improve the odds in your favour, If you have severe flooding, fires approaching conflagration level and many systems out there might be nothing anyone can do. Even if it doesb't sink that ship is more than likely a mission kill/floating wreck.
