Game time out / Repair tool

[pablodalk]

I needed to repair my captured Brigantine from 31% hull damage so i got in my suit and used the repair laser. This was obviously going to take some time so I wedge the fire key and left it running (over night). I woke up to find my self back at the menu. Now either I had been killed (I was in Legend's Home) or the game has some sort of time out.

Any 1 know if the game has a time out?

Also, I see there’s a repair laser. Can I get an AI controlled ship to use this? If so I’ll just play the game and let it get repaired over time.

Oh, yes. Spacesuits has a limited (2hrs) air tank only

The repair laser is a personal use only tool in vanilla.

From what I have read, although ships have a slot for it, unless you mod it, it is not available...

I am in the same position, I have a Brigantine and a Galleon in need of repairs, and cant justify the 50m+ each it cost for repairs at a shipyard.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I'll just have to capture another one of each and be a bit more careful this time

ok, 2hours, ill just set it going and watch a film.... or 2 or 3!

Look up the 'SETA repair'

Ps.: Heratik is right, it's faster to board a second ship to cover the repair cost of the first one than any personal repair method

And you could net yourself another capital ship full of IBL/PPC too!

Although, the reason my Galleon is so low is because I was greedy and reloaded for the cargo bay full of weapons, even though this left it unshielded whilst its fighter wing ejected and promptly attacked it before I could clean them all up.

Next time I take a Galleon I will take the reload that gives me shields, because that way, at the point you gain control, whatever shields it has regained while your marines have been clearing out the decks (about 15-20% probably) will remain intact, giving you enough time to deal with its fighter wing before they decimate its hull.

Are you playing a modified game or Vanilla?

If you are playing vanilla then

Simply get your ship to eject it's SETA software and run over it in your space suit, this allows you to run the repair under SETA time.
