turn off auto repair

[Aminius]

please add an option to turn off auto repair for all fleets and new created ones!
its damn annoying having to search for ships in all ports after a battle and also they keep teleporting to random ports after they repaired in an allied port too, just let us turn this annoying "feature" off!

and it ruined my fleet organisation.
In this game I'm only the Admiral and I cannot direct affect the politics. But I'm the Admiral, I should have the power to give the order: stay at the fleet (maybe only as an additional target), or the fleet go to repair.

Recent update shall have sent them to ports near by. But the "nearby" port may be on the other side of a blocked strait (Gibraltar, Suez Canal), or from Atlantic to Pacific before the Panama Canal is done.

Around Singapore is fine since it's quite re-routable from other passages around (Indonesian) islands.

Not sure about how is it in V 1.7 Beta.

And, it was annoying and inefficient to auto-repair tiny damage and chipped paints when in port just for supply, which disable them for additional months, and occupying a lot of repairing dock tonnage (for CL and above).

Agreed. Maybe there could be a pop up after battle to show ships damaged and decide the course of action: either repair them (and choose where) or stick with the fleet.

Have they broken this functionality? There is no way to make it the default, but one used to be able to set the repair priority on a fleet to effectively-never and ships in the single digits would duly stay in the fleet and not teleport away.

i always thought auto repair seems OP. u kind get damaged in a battle and suddenly teleport ed back to port in the same term XD.

maybe allowing player to sail/tow the damaged ship/s back to port might be a good thing

Okay, I checked in-game and there is still the 'Repair Priority' button on ports and fleets. In the past, the setting 'Low' only teleported complete wrecks, so I always felt it was sufficiently conservative not to bother me.

... Beyond the cheatiness that the previous poster mentions. They sure should have to limp home on their own, on the map, blockable and interceptible - or even have to be scuttled, if they survived the battle but now cannot make it due to engine/funnel damage.

[Aminius]

now they teleport all over the map. had some ships from the caribbean teleport all the way to spain and the philippines.
and that you can set the repair priority for each fleet is part of the problem - switching each and every fleet to low is super annoying and i keep forgetting some all the time.

[Zsar]

True. Especially given that fleets are not persistent but created on the fly, being able to set a default in Settings|General would be very reasonable.
