If my shield (or my hazard protection) fails and my body takes damage, I can get health from all sorts of things: wall dispensers, shiny artifacts, plants, helpful aliens, etc.
What about when my ship's shields fail and it takes damage? How can I heal that? (My current ship started out with 5 or 6 little ship icons below its shield bar; now it has only 2.)

Quitting the game and starting up again seems to have done the trick. My ship was back to 6 little health icons when I did that.
Note: In this case my game actually crashed (because PS4), so I'm only assuming that quitting the game would have had the same effect. (The save point that reloaded was from a couple minutes before the game crash, which was several hours after my ship was damaged.)
