Forgotten how to repair ships out of shipyards

[Nomadski]

I played X3 a lot ages ago, recently bought TC and loving it but found ive forgotten most of what I learnt the first time round.

Anyway ive been able to disable a bunch of fighters and large ships. The fighters and most of the large ships im able to direct to the next area where there is a shipyard so i can repair or sell the ships, but one is heavily crippled and wont get thru a few pirates that have appeared.

Ive docked it for safe keeping, but how do I go about repairing the ship outside of a shipyard?

Im sure you can do it, just cant remember how.

Undock ship you want to repair, get close to it and eject from your current ship. Use repair laser to fix hull.

Your space suit is equiped with a repair laser, so just spacewalk within 2km of the damaged ship and fire away.

Aha, thanks for that.
