Repair ships individually

[generalcoffeemug]

Sometimes after a battle multiple ships will be damaged, but another incoming enemy fleet will arrive before repairs for the entire fleet can finish and will interrupt the repair for the entire fleet. To get around this, I will split the fleet into single ship units to repair them individually. But this takes a lot more actions and time to do. Is there a better way to do this in the game somewhere?

Just cancel the repair. They are repaired sequentially when in a fleet, so whatever got repaired will be repaired, whatever didn't didn't. You can then split off the still damaged ships and fight with the undamaged ones.

Cancel the one repair for the entire fleet right before the enemy ships arrive?

[Ericus1]

Yes. Then you only have to split off the still damaged ships that hadn't gotten repaired yet and use the rest to fight.

Just keep in mind, because it's unintuitive, that it's still repaired sequentially and at the same pace no matter how many and what level of shipyards you have at the hab (unless it was changed in recent versions). As you can do repairs parallelly at different habs it can be many times faster when you divide your fleet and repair independently at different but close places. It would be nice if it was implemented in a way that didn't promote such a micromanage-heavy way.
